I'd go for grey personally..I remember there was another JDM up for sale when I sold mine, his with silver, mine with grey, thought grey looked nicer, but the silver did make it look more 'mature'

I think both would look good, but silver would be best suited in my opinion.

Appreciate the advice guys. I just find that gunmetal is too dark at you can't actually see the wheels in the arches.

Even considering gold now!

yeah thats too dark, i agree, mine where anthrancite which i think its much nicer on a silver car.

I was tempted to make up a custom bronze finish once, it could look awesome, but equally has the potential to look wrong.

Is that lowered at all?
