    i changed the colour of mine from the same colour as the car to charcoal grey and looks much better as it matched the interior, id recommend you stick to darker colours

    As pred has said, keep to dark colours. Loads of people did them in silver and you are now seeing everyone changing to dark grey or black.

    Dark blue could work mate. Depends how it looks with the dashboard!

    yeah, i have a red spaxo and did vents, center console +speaker grilles in the same red
    i left the vent on the centre console black

    i think it looks great, enough to stand out but without being in your face

    not too sure about the blue though, and everyone seems to have silver

    you had a look at the colour code finder guide i did, the code is either on the strut in the engine bay or in the drivers side door shut

    think yours is gunmetal grey mate not sure though

    you can just give them your colour code and they will mix up the paint into spray cans you know, bit expensive if they havent got the colour in, just have a look through all the manufacturers, as the set ones already on there are 6.99 a tin, i got the rover charcoal grey, have a look through then google the colour to see what it looks like

    I know what u mean mate, its nice but maybe a little dark

    Plus i figure that gunmetal grey will look the sex as its a direct match for the rest of my car, what you think mate?

    I reckon posi blue or any blue in the interior will look shite
