Question Photos Of Gunmetal Grey XR8s?

.


Hey lads, wasn't sure if this is in the correct forum or not, so sorry if it isn't.

I've got wind of a 2002 AUIII XR8 Manual, in gun metal, mint condition with 22,000kms on the clock. The photos aren't the best so was wondering if anyone here has some clear photos of a car in this colour?

I think it's also called Ego? How rare is this shade? Must be fairly rare (as far as XR8s go) I can't find squat on Google or carpoint.com etc. I'm thinking I could get the car for around $23-4K which to me is a pretty good deal with the options and low kms.


Thanks,
Carl

EGO is a BF (maybe BA2) colour.
The AU's did come out in a gunmetal grey.

Think you might mean "Anthracite"? Similar to BA Merc silver.

There was also a colour called Graphite.

This looked brilliant, although they never could get the colour match right on the bumpers.

Edit: happy to be corrected if I知 wrong.

Cheers,
