Cheers. I was going to go for a dark gunmetal grey to really blend the carbon bits, but I just couldn't resist my urge for this lighter colour!

I'm from Paignton too dude. Speed Culture are pretty good mates of mine, although I haven't been down there in about a year mind. We must live pretty close, cause Speed Culture is about 2-3 miles from my house.

Thanks. I think they were sourced from Seibon, or Carbon Creations.
