I don't know but I've been looking for a picture of this car for months now! I absolutely WANT the color code of the paint job. Or could it be wrapped?

Hope this helps.
So this car is an FMU project (member FluidMotorUnion on mbworld) so I suggest you contact them.

Those are not the same wheels and tires as the FMU project, but it certainly looks like the exact same car.

The FMU car had blacked out front grill bars and appeared to be a different shade of gray, although it is difficult to tell from the picture above.

Actually after seeing the video that may very will be the FMU car with the old grill since the car seems to have the FMU diffuser/exhaust set-up and same spoiler and both sport BASF decals and Washington plates. The owner was selling his old ADV.1 wheels on this forum some time ago.

If you check the links I posted you'll notice how in some pictures the grey seems much light and in others much darker.
This is the only BS that was painted J.F. Matador Grey so it's safe to assume it's the FMU.

Anyway OP you should get in touch with them, they can probably tell you more.

Tires are the Pirelli PZERO Trofeo in 265mm up front and 305mm at the rear in 19" diameter.

This is indeed the car that FMU did the exhaust fabrication and performance work on. The paint is from BASF and we came up with a mix we call Matador Gray. It definitely changes "shades" depending on the light. I did sell the 20" ADV.1 wheels that were on it previously and replaced them with the current set of ADV.1 wheels in 19x10" and 19x11" with the Pirelli PZERO Trofeo tires.

How do you like the grip on the Trofeo's? Not too many places sell that specific tire.
