So I have a black ed30
Having my wheels refurbed and unsure what colour to go for.
Silver or gun metal grey

Also got an r32 rear valance going on and was looking into spraying the exhaust valance a gun metal grey rather than leaving it with the plastic look.
I like the look of this if anyone knows this car or the colour of his exhaust valance on the rear bumper haha

If I can find a nice grey to contrast the black rear bumper I may even get the wheels wet sprayed in the same colour

Any ideas on a paint code for a nice grey against the black bumper like the pic above?

I'm using nissan KAE grey :)
Do I need anything else to fit the r32 lower valance? Any foam supports or just fit it

Gunmetal grey imo

Love that r32 bumper...the silver section really sets it apart...keeping that for inspiration  :congrats:

I did have the same idea tbh was just trying to find a nice grey for the lower valance then I saw that and was like what colour is it I want it! I follow him on Instagram it's on 9x18 team dynamic 1.3s and it looks sweet!
