Youre very welcome mate.
If you want a few shades or a slightly better quality version, pm me and forward a higher res photo. Easier to monkey about with :-D

Just my opinion of course, but black wheels on a black car with black optics is just a bit too much. Tried it on my avant and wasn't convinced, so have refurbed the wheels pictured in titanium now.

Always been a fan of that titanium/graphite shade.
Youre right, it does go well with the black.

Yeah black wheel are for cars that are any colour other than black. On a black car I always go a bit lighter like anthracite.

Headlights are done with lamin-x headlight protection film. Legallity is argueable as it doesn't change the headlight colour or beam pattern.
