What colour for underneath of grey S2 RST
Hi all.
In middle of a 14 year rebuild of my S2 RST. Got to that sticky part of choosing what colour to refurb all running gear, roll bars and suspension on a grey car.
I love it when you look underneath an immaculate white car when everything is powdercoated black and silver but neither of these colours really stand out on a grey car.
Looking at zinc plating, powder coating and even sending to spray shop.
All ideas would be great fully received and if you have any pictures of grey undersides you might make a grown man happy in his garage.

Thanks all. All colours I'm looking at but can't make my mind up.
Blacks the obvious to help me keep it clean.
There was a focus at national day last year where everything including the callipers were WHITE. My first thoughts was how the hell do you keep that clean?
I've thought of the gold to clash with the grey underside (floor pan is same paint n quality as what's on top). Then thought about a very pale blue to match the pin stripe the cars always had. Or a jazzy red to match the 88 spec interior. But also orange just to be different.
Has anyone pictures of anything other than the black?
Thanks

Wow that is a bright orange. Are they powder coated that colour or sprayed?
Bet they will stand out from two cars behind. Lol.
I like the sound of them.
