Do you think gunmetal / black Alpina reps would look nice against Dolphin grey?

Can anyone photoshop grey Alpinas for me?

rightness indeed....

but ive had a bit of an issue with the nearside one....it ounctured and shit fit and all other tyre places refused to repair it....so i put tyreweld in it and fixed it....however in the process...i fcuked one of the bolt holes in the rear half shaft....so ive got another job to do (i knew the thread waas on its way out as it had felt wrong since i got the car..) bugger and bugger again! anyone got a halfshaft lying round (the bit the wheelbolts go into?)

cheers

I'm gonna get my spare set of alloys refinished in black. And if I don't like them I'll flog them on Ebay, but judging by yours Karan I think it'll look great, have to try and get matt black though.
