Have you looked into that BMW Carbon black yet? Its a M colour found on the M3 & M5's BMW paint code 416. Like i said before you could always mix the paint with more pearl or/and Mica to switch it a little and had more sparkle/flip... Especially if your wanting a dark colour.. Or Subaru Pearl black Ive seen this thing look black untill the strong sunlight hit the body work then BAM! Yellow metal flakes out of nowhere. Another Great colour! espcially if your going split rims with gold bolts or gold faces! or even cream interior!
Hiya matey ...
Thanks for the feedback ... but seems to me that nobody is interested so much! There's only a small amount of feedback .... And what i can't understand is how on earth do i get so many views if nobody bothers to leave a comment? Anyways thanx for your support... I'll try to continue.....
The car's original interior was champagnecolour which used to go out on the original metallic gold colour. I'm going for the Recaro interiors found on the 2.8's now. It's a lot nicer. So i really need to match somethign to that.....
The choice is between colours is between two really here. I had some six - seven cars in black! If I do another black car ... I like the mean look ... but I'm running a risk that ppl start thinking that i'm offering funeral services or something like that! So the car will either retain it's original Solar Gold (a nice greeny Gold) metallic colour or a Bluey colour ..... Colour is very fashionable and changes with time... just like the bodykits do...(let's not touch that subject for now cos im confused!)
As the wheels ain't part of the car really .... I know that split rims are nice on it....Cos it had split rims like those of the Red cossie Capri .... however the inside was Gold. I chose to go back to the 7 spoke alloys of the Capri ... Cos the craze at the time was for those.....and they really suit the car. But for an alloy wheel to suit the Capri you got to make the right choice and the
trick lies in this fact
. There are 2 general categories of wheels really.
Category A is those wheels which offset the surrounding rubber
INWARDS of the Car
....and there is that category which offsets the rubber
OUTWARDS of the car
.....The car's design is more
suitable for alloys which push more rubber
OUTWARDS .... So that's why split rims look great... cos of the
deep look that they give you....I think Whilee can't agree more than me on this....
