colour co-ordinating

I’ve my bike for a while know and it’s looking a bit boring. I need to get some new pedals and grips, I’ve decided to get either the CNC Nano Tech Flats or DMR V8 pedals and grips Custom Supagripa when there back in stock.
My problem is what colour to I get them in?

The pedals I was thinking probably silver or white? And the grips maybe white and blue, but I don’t have anything as yet on the bike that is blue or if it would look right on the bike?

At the risk of sounding far too *girlie* - that's a bike that's crying out for some colour!!

definetely get the nano techs, i changed my dmr v8s for nano techs and they are soooo much better
get them in red with the custom grips in red with black caps

Where are my stabilisers?

With a bike that colour, you could go for anything - I'd stay away from silver though, it's too close to the colour of the bike. You have got blue on the forks, so you could go for that, or introduce some red, or pretty much anything. Just don't start mixing in too many colours. best to stick with one - or go patriot with red white and blue!

Is there any difference between CNC Nano Tech Flats and CNC Nano Thru Pin Pedals, apart from the CNC Nano Thru Pin Pedals having the pins all the way through, does that make a difference?

To avoid it looking like a dogs breakfast stick to a max of three colours - two blending and one contrasting. You already have silver and dark grey, so one more . .

Turquoise or bright blue nanotechs will pick up the blue on the shocks. You easily find grips to match - maybe ODI lock-ons? Hope seat clamp too. And you can always get some bits anodised . .
Bright green would also brighten it up nicely but won't go with the shocks.

Def not silver, white, yellow or orange, or red. Red on grey looks pants.

I think I’ll go with the blue pedals, not sure which blue, electric or dark???
I'll see how they look, then get the grips and other stuff.

The forks have adjustable travel. 90-130mm I think. What blue do you think will look best, electric blue or dark blue???

Its a similar colour to mine except ive got white saddle, bar pedals and cable housing, I've just accented mine with gold, gold grip ends on grey supagrippas and gold seat clamp, headset spacers and bottle cage bolts, I think gold on grey looks great

If you get it right it looks amazing I think. If I were you id go either blue as suggested or red.

Got the pedals this mourning (and a bag of mini haribo ) Just fitted them, and been for a quick go using them. They seem very grippy and very blue.
Sorry for the rubbish photos had the wrong size setting on my phone.
