Anthracite or Black?? - Comments please
Well, got my Disco booked in to have the wheels done, but not sure whether to go for Anthracite or Black, as the plastic is not really jet black, and thought Anthracite might be better, with being just off black.
I have till Monday next week to decide, so any comments or anyone that has already done this on a silver one with pics would really help.
Cheers

'Anthracite' like colours (wouldn't want to get sued for misrepresentation...) can be good and a little different from the norm. I'll keep to my black ones as the rest of it is black and I'm thinking of spraying the air intake black as well now....... (where does it all end.....?)Bodsys Brake Bible

Well, my first thought, and gut feeling was anthracite, and then got thinking - which is dangerous - to whether a black would be better, but I reckon I am gonna go with my gut, and anthracite, as had a previous car done by this company, so I know the colour I will get, yep, decided now, anthracite it is - till a couple of hours anyway.
Pics will be posted next week.......

When I first read this - though you meant my wheels to be orange need more coffee......
Glad you like it - was great for me, just not using it as much as I should of - so was it a bike outing in the afternoon then?

I'd get the air intake grill done as well [mentioned to tdv6nick before] ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Not sure on this one, as the grille is almost that colour anyways on mine, so might be a bit of a waste of money, but will go out and have a look at it - how does it come off - just in case

StuRox , I'd look at a satin black then?
You can have mine if it doesn't work out
