Ford Graphite grey, ask for the darkest one under that name, it's made of about 85% black lol

I think Rover had/have a 'Rover Gunmental' anthracite colour that's pretty cool.

Have a picture of a cesaro in it, apparently

It is or was a powerflow back box, so it will have been a custom jobbie, i bought it in a joblot of bits from Colin Smith, unfortunately the lad i sold the car to weighed it in and it went in the squisher still on the car!

rover hurricane/ te,pest grey is a pretty good match to the original plastic
