Well, its in getting done as we speak.....went for Anthracite in the end, so hopefully will be the right choice.....
I haven't bothered with the air intake, as if anything I might get this colour-coded silver to match in with the wing....buts that's for another day

It'll be good to see the results.....I think you were right to go with Anthracite......Bodsy has already been there and got the t-shirt with the black theme so you'll be original
I think that you should have got the air intake and possible the door mirrors (just the upper half) painted the same as the wheels though.....it would have been very subtle and provide a nice contrast.....(In the same way that ronp's silver bumper looks great with the black A-bar).2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG

Wonder if you can get colour coded wheel nuts.......
I don't think the photo's do them justice, but the darker colour definately make them stand out. I think you're right not to have gone with the Black wheels, but Black would still look 8) (I would say that wouldn't I... )Bodsys Brake Bible

I did ask about the nuts, when I asked about the centre cap, and he advised against it, as they get all scraped and chipped when taking them on/off etc.
I don't think they look too bad as they are, although would look better anthracite too.......

Just re-read my post, makes it sound as though I think they don't look very good
They do look good as they are and better than the std Silver, but as with everything I'm always looking for the next step..... Sorry, didn't want it to appear unappreciative Stu.
Wonder if "Powder Coat Ken" could get the wheel nuts done to a suitable hardness to withstand the pressure of undoing them....?Bodsys Brake Bible
