Should hopefully have my new civic with me by end of next week, so need to get the plans sorted so I can get it into the bodyshop asap.
Im going full a full carbonfibre front end, but havent a clue what colour to paint the rest of the car, Im thinging black or grey but still unsure. Wanted some different opinions!
Some pics of the stuff...

Nice choice 
Paint it a dark metallic grey - not too huge a contrast between carbon and paint then.

white might be a bit too contrasting!
Dark grey is probably going to look best, will be obvious but not too contrasting.
Now just need to get it all ordered!

well, this delay is actually down to some chav signing for my wheels outside of the bodyshop and nicking them, so police are involved with that now - it has not been a lucky car at all.
Its already had boot smoothed, and the doors and roof gutters totally smoothed. Other than that its just getting the basic kit fitted and resprayed. So no custom wide arch kit, no custom kit, no 20's, no hydraulics, nothing like that!
