My old 370, to give you an idea of the colour combo

2012-09-26144925.jpg

Cheers Yo-Yo. That's helped heaps mate :) I like The combo, wasn't sure if it would match. As you always want to do something to personalise your car, I didn't think I could do much in the way of the wheel colour.

Do you know the exact colour of the car? There are a few different shades of Graphite/Grey, which doesn't help.

Dark metallic Silver Paint code K57

it's lighter than the graphite shadow & darker than the silver.

It's a bit of a chameleon colour actually... some lights it looks gunmetal, other lights it's a bluish silver, sometimes purplish silver.

It was *almost* like having a new car at different times of the day :P

Bit like having a new lady on your arm each time, depending what colour they dye their hair ;)

The colour does look nice. This is what is making the decision so hard for me, as there are a few different grey colours that look almost identical. Also not seeing them in person, makes the task that much harderpost-134916-0-60679600-1403975823_thumb.jpg

This chart is all I have to really go on. Buggered if I can pick the difference between the Grey colours.

I'm hanging to get it sorted but since I'm importing, I have to get the colour choice right the first time round, as I'm sure Iron Chef won't give me a second bite at the cherry if I don't like the colour when it lands :) Also it doesn't help that I suck at making decisions sometimes. Damn I might as well go with the black again lol....

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
