It's best to phone them up though, they let you choose pretty much any colour on any part, they are really helpful, and send you samples of the colours if you need them.

Now, how much work is replacing all four upper and lower front hub balljoints? A lot? I've just seen that for discbrake models, you need a washer over the driveshaft to refit the hub.

It not that hard dude :) Did it myself about 6 months ago, took about 30-40 mins to do each one, including dismantling and rebuilding. Make sure you lap them in :)

What d'you mean by lap them in? :)
Thanks

The ball joints tend to have ridges in them from manufacture so they have to be removed by using grinding paste to smooth them off and make them a good fit. Search "lapping ball joints" on here, there's a few discussions and guides; there's also a very good one on YouTube :)
