Must be quite bad ride on 20" wheels, but that is car porn, right there.
Love the work on the front bumper - different.
Even the ski racks look good :)

Love the front end? What splitter is that and also the extra 'fins' above it. Looks aggressive. Thanks

Looks great. Mine have just been sprayed gunmetal.. curbed the front drivers side yesterday (first time in 10 years), im hoping abit of a touch up pen will hide the damage :(

It’s a nightmare and I’m dreading it when it happens and it’s only a matter of time lol

I'm a little confused about my options, anthracite, gunmetal, etc :)
With that blue hue to the wheels I would say that's neither anthracite or gunmetal. Gunmetal is darker than anthracite, but doesn't have as much of the blue/cyan tone to the highlights lack that.

Gunmetal and anthracite would be more like:

Anthracite...

That's just me using the RGB values to try and match other peoples versions. But as others have said, you are better going to the shop and seeing their samples and comparing it against the car. Their colours may be vastly different to other manufacturers.

Only advice, Don't go to dark, or black, you lose the detail in the wheels, more so in photos.
