The grey is a good compromise (though possibly a slight shade darker than the last photo).
TBH I think the car looks pretty awesome in all three photos and will look just as good when you stick the Shadows back on.  :smiley:

MAW: light coloured grey is good just enough for the contrast.
What do Exonian and Ess_Three, our wheel gurus, think?
I agree with Froggy too. Slightly lighter than Ess_Three's VWR wheels.
All the best and I hope they do a good job.

Anthracite photoshop


I don't like the style of these wheels much. However, in anthracite they look superb!
That would get my vote.  :smiley:
Try to get a grey to match the plastic in the front bumper/rear diffuser.

Reducing my Golf count by the week....
..but gaining motorcycles.

Thanks Ess_Three, Sad but I was laying in bed last night thinking the same thing about matching the grey with the bumber and diffuser  :smiley:

BTW MAW you bumper bandit! Hope they don't turn your wheels into an irretrievable mess!  My rear WILL be fixed one way or another and I will display it to you in all its rosy glory! All the best.
Can't wait for the piccys.
