Really would like to hear people's opinions on getting my alloys powder coated gloss black maybe even grey/anthroite.
If I did do this I think I would need other things on the car o be black also

Welcome to the site. Personally I'd go with black alloys not sure how the grey would look against the blue car. Then you'd need to do the exterior plastics gloss black to match, I know everyone's going with the gloss black including myself but it looks good. If you wanted to add a little twist you could do your wheels black but with a blue lip.

thanks for the feedback guys,
Does anybody know how big of a job it would be to remove and spray the exterior plastics i really think i would have to pay somebody to do it as im useless at that kind of stuff.

and @marshboy have you got any pics with the smoked chrome alloys?

Yeah smoked chrome on yours looks smart mate, I think I do prefer the gloss black tho, and I think it will look really good with blue or red break calippers(still deciding).
The only thing that worries me is how the chrome window lining ect will look because ATM I feel it goes nicely with the silver alloys.
I think painting like the rear diffuser and the other greyish exterior plastics black will help me get the colour scheme I want but I'm not sure if thats something IDE be able to do myself
