Just don't park it next to a grey M series BMW car. They'll look like twins and your secret will be out...

Looks like your trying to find something in between the 2 colours above.
...and there's me hunting about the Net while sitting on my drive is a grey X Type which just might fit the bill colour-wise


Color code: LHK, reference: 1926 Quartz/Grey Metallic.

Thanks for the pic, but I'm looking for something 'grey' and not silver metallic - almost like a solid enamel.. and your lovely Jag is a touch too dark still.

Appreciate the effort though, thanks

Found the colour

Range Rover Arroios Grey - saw it in the flesh and it's perfect.




Parts are at the painter, so I'll post pics once it's done in a few weeks' time

Paint is done.

Still waiting for some parts so I can fit my black exhausts, refit the fender trim and a few other bits - then I'll take some 'naked' and 'dressed' pictures

In the meantime...



This photo is pretty true to life, colour-wise




The colour looks a bit more blue in this picture than it actually is in the flash

Thanks

The main headland visor was a generic 7" one from eBay

For the passing lamps you need new trim rings (68775-93TA) and then the Harley passing lamp visors (67783-78T)
