Default Polaris Grey or Ash Black?

Does anyone have pics of Ash Black and Polaris Grey Escort's so I can finally confirm one way or the other as to what colour my car is. By the colours in a brochure, it's Polaris, but cars I've seen on here that are said to be that colour don't look like mine. Looking back through old posts, I found one that had been for sale that looks more like mine, but was described as Ash Black.

Go into the Pictures & Video Gallery forum and look for the thread Macker's New Escort Cosworth, (it's on page 3 at the mo) and this is how your car should look if it's an Ash Black one

Mine is a Jan 94 build, big turbo. Going by the pics, I can finally confirm that it is Ash Black. Thanks all for clearing that up.
