I really like that colour :) It's similar to my wheels and is much better than the brighter/richer gold colours around.

I still like black on black and shadow chrome on black. Black cars have an air of evil about them, so you can amplify it with moody colours. :wink:

either that or the bronze they were before as i still have a litre of it left

If you go that dark... Get black fog lens lids/covers!

Or tint them but I suspect that is illegal/stupid.

The gold is a lovely colour. Don't get Carbotech pads though as they won't stay nice for long, unless you're a clean freak :lol:

Black with scarlet Red is a great colour combination also red piping around the number plates.
