My car with new matte black CSLs

Roland · 10-17-2007, 02:46 PM

I think this came out pretty nice between the wheels and the blacked out grill - just wanted to show off a bit

Dammmittt · 10-17-2007, 05:19 PM

Not bad, not bad.

bluegt2 · 10-17-2007, 07:07 PM

I am sorry. I know you are excited about your new wheels but in the spirit of open and honest feedback (not trying to be mean or hurtful) I think it just takes something away from the car. The black wheels and blacked out grill make the car look dull. Sorry, black and blue just doesn't work for me.

No worries - not everyone has to like it. Moreover, if I elect to revert - it is a 20 minute effort

Maybe it will grow on me

Rick Hunter · 10-21-2007, 02:05 AM

Looks better in the flesh.

Here's an action shot:

Cheers mate.

mister_roger · 10-21-2007, 04:52 AM

Hey Roland. Your car looks great in person. The blue/black definitely goes well together. As you mentioned, Black-housing headlights would definitely be a finishing touch. Keep us updated!

It was a pleasure meeting you for lunch earlier today. Until next time

Roland · 10-21-2007, 08:11 AM

Mr Roger & RickHunter - it was great to meet both of you! Glad you like my black-n-blue baby

MakoBimmer1 · 10-21-2007, 10:20 AM

Sorry I couldnt make the meet.

Hopefully we can schedule a meet sometime soon. I wanna see yoru new wheels, Roland!

ZElephant · 10-21-2007, 12:53 PM

that looks really cool

03SG///M3 · 10-23-2007, 09:16 AM

I like it a lot... unique. I've always loved black wheels...

koj415 · 10-23-2007, 06:16 PM

I think the wheels look awesome! Any hang-ups unclipping the surrounds to install/paint the new ones? or is it pretty straight-forward?
