Would Phantom Blue/Ti Grey be a good 2tone?

I just installed my MS front bumper today to test for fitment.

Well, as I was looking at it and admiring the look of an authentic MS bumper, I started to notice that the Ti Grey really matched well with the Phantom Blue.

The grey also really goes well with the rims!
If I were to complete the kit, does anyone think a PB with Ti Grey MS kit would look alright? I don't have the skills to photoshop. I'm not interested in a fancy paint job. Only the MS kit would be grey. Also, I'm thinking instead of the MS sides, I'd keep the mudguards and add the side flares (possibly ti grey)

Anyways, this is just a passing thought Let's hear some feedback!!

Edit: FYI I was planning on having the bumper painted PB by the weekend. Keeping the bottom grey, as per OEM MS styling.

Haha nice, Glad to see it on the car already I will be dropping off my kit in the morning, actually later on today. I plan on letting them have the kit for a few days to get it ready then give them the car. Keep us posted and it fits well, mines an aftermarket kit so I hope they get it all fit correctly

I expected this response lol
I really wish you could see the color in person! I used my blackberry to take the pics.

Truth be told, I'm just toying with the idea. In the end, I'll be a good lil soldier and have the bumper paint matched

I don't think it'd look good, but as it was said, it wouldn't be horrible. Just not good.

Phantom blue is a good color, stick to that. If you want to go further, just get the rest of the MS it and paint the bottom edge gray, like the OEM is.

paint the bumper pb and keep the bottom grey to kind of match the rims. Youll have a grey/pb theme going on but it wont be overdone.
