I think silver on grey would look good.

Just the opposite of charcoal on silver ;)

Well do you have any pictures of your car you could post up for people to work on?

I agree with arith, best pics would be from your own car as due to my limited photoshop abilities, it takes me quite a long time to change the colour of the car and i have no experience with urban grey so i'm not sure exactly what it looks like in detail as some photos look grey but others have a weird tinge to it. But i gave it a shot anyways and this is what i came up with. It's not exactly urban grey but its close enough imo.

EDIT: Jim's car in my version of a super reflective urban grey (I was trying to chrome it to make fun of him but it backfired).

Sorry, but if you bought it through Subaru Australia it is either Steel Silver or Diamond Grey. Urban Ghey was discontinued for MY08.

if you have a dark grey car it will look awesome with black sti rims.
i know a guy with a dark grey audi rs4 and he's had his 19"s done black and its the equal sexiest car i've ever seen :shock: .
jims is the other one.

My understanding was this was Urban grey when i purchased the car, i thought the Steel silver was lighter & the Diamond grey was the darker colour

Open your passenger door, and have a look for the "COLOR CODE" on the plate at the foot of the "B" pillar.
Edit: that's on some cars, on others this plate is on the passenger side strut tower in the engine bay.

This table is a bit old, and uses US colours. Is your's on it?

That's steel silver. In fact if it had Qld plates, it could be my car.
