    I'll do a mini detail as I have optimum on the car so I can't go ape on it, but a good 5 days of clear weather is needed in order to get the job done right.

    May re-clear my wheels in my cousins spray booth.

    I plastidipped my old Denvers with Plastidip "Gunmetal". I then added "Glossifier" and it gave a really nice shine to it. Overall the outcome was a little more bluey than your typical Gunmetal colour, but refer to the new owner "kam" for photos.

    If you can't find charcoal, you can ask (pretty sure) companies like Caswell Australia if they can mix up a colour for you.

    They have been great each time I've purchased from them.

    Cheers fastlane... I managed to find some pics and your right I was afraid they would be a little to blueish and that they are. Someone told me to go Gun metal and then throw a couple of coats of smoke on top to darken it up.

    Place in the US dipyourcar.com apparently sells charcoal but I can't find it in the products section.

    I fitted boavista 17's with Goodyear F1D5's. (couldn't stump the $300 a corner for the conti's, at about $170 each these will be ok)

    Next is KW V1's if it wasn't for the lack of a M14 spline bit
    My Car(s): 2011 6R TSI Comfortline (Pepper Silver),
    If you're in need of any 6n1 parts, odds are that I am going to have them (dismantling 2 at the moment)
