Default Advice needed - Colour coding

I've got a Green Classic, as shown here.....



now after owning the car for a week, i've decided a couple of things need to be changed, starting with the STi 8 bonnet vent and the right hand bonnet vent, so they are going at the 1st chance.

THE REAR LIGHTS ARE GETTING CHANGED NEXT WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
before anyone mentions the rear bloody lights!

Now, as we can see its got white alloys, my issue is, what colours work well with Green?

As you can see from my old coupe, i don't like keeping things standard....






but i can't think of a colour that works well with green.....

Gold does work well with green.
Right hand vent would be passenger side.

Black wheels make the tyres look brown / dirty IMHO, if you want a dark colour go for anthracite / gun metal or my favourite, bright flitter

Anthracite would be my choice of wheel colour.

Paint the wedges in the bumper whilst you're on.

Green scoop and vents on Ebay might be the right paint code for you.

wedges will be going black as gay orange does nothing for me, lol

Might go for the Maserati Grey i had on the Coupe alloys.
