That's a colour I can do myself in stages as well.

I reckon if you're going for the one colour, then as merc said pulling the arches might be worth trying, it'll give it that more subtle look. But then putting those thingies on does make it look a bit meaner, tbh I think they should stay black and paint the rest of the car ;) I don't think it'd look right if they were matched to the bodywork.

I'd never get any where near enough stretch out of the rear arches for what I want to achieve. The fronts yeah maybe, but not the rears and it'd look completely wrong with rolled fronts and the arches on the rear. I do actually really like the arches left black... I didn't think I would.

The main reason it'd be that shade of grey is because it's grey primer and laquered on top. Cheap, easy application and easy for repairs ;-) ... Plus I love it 8)

You considering a respray Phil?!

That'd be this shade and although that is a beautiful lude, I prefer my shade :)

:o That is a nice 4G. Any idea what wheels they are? Look like RPF1s but they're not. Sure I've seen them on a 5G before...

MUCH to my surprise (really, I am quite flaberghasted at myself) I think it works and this combo looks the best:

It really didn't work at all, until such fat wheels were added.
