#86002 Right, I don't have a lot of time to look around the forums but I need opinions on colour for my EG. It's going in for a re-spray (at an expensive cost) so I want to get it right. It's currently a straight red. I was recommended to keep it red, but in a metallic paint. Something like this,

Does go nice with Carbon Fiber along with those Black angel lights which are on my list.

But I did previously want it in a dark gray, but I'm having doubts.

The wheels I'll be getting will be black with the red trim round them (I don't know which exact ones as of yet) but it's just so you guys have an idea so you can recommend me a good colour that will contrast well with both Carbon Fiber and Black alloys.

I was goin to eventually get the spoon CF spoiler too.

What you guys think I should do? I like both, but the GF doesn't like red, but I know she'll like it once it's all done properly, but who cares what she thinks at the end of the day lol.

Appreciated!

Its a Dark Color, looks like a Black far away getting purple when you get close, With blue and Purple Metallic Flakes. Will look with Dark Colored Rims and Carbon Fiber IMO.
Its what I am going to Paint my Coupe, Then Putting on some Bronze Circuit 10's :twisted:

Its not a Red or Grey, Just tossing it out there.

#86120 Hm, the black berry pearl is nice, but not for me though. Moonrock Gray is cool.

Tough really, gotta make the decision today. Hard choice Between keeping it red or gray!

Keep posting guys, appreciated.

#86310 I've chosen to stick with Red, think it'll look lush with black.

The red I've chosen is Melbournerot Red. It's a new BMW colour. Pictures of it are linked below on the new M3.

Can't wait till it's done!
