I think gloss black with the red brakes and the window tint would look pretty sweet.

well i dont normally let it deteriorate to that extent... but it was about a month since I had driven the car... plus another 3 weeks + now at RAT...

but yes - it does hide brake dust very well.

This is going to be tough ! The Black , dark gunmetal, and even the Ruf Platnum would look great in my opinion. The contrast is really what is important and not have the same color in my opinion. I should have some finished pics very soon...
