I tried Satin Black and against the other gloss black highlights didn’t work for me…I then went gloss black…

Maybe graphite?

I would have voted either gloss or satin black, but as could only pick one and was not sure what you currently have I voted satin as on its own I thought it was better but I would overall say that if it is currently gloss you have on your car then keep it as it looks great :thumbsup:

Can this look be photoshopped to compare?

You haven't put up photos of shadow chrome but I voted for it, if it's like what MMM has put up I am sticking to my vote but I think gunmetal would also look good. Gloss black would also look ok on yellow but you've already got that so maybe time for a change? Silver goes with everything but everyone has it and it's good to be a bit different! :D

Black with silver / polished edge as Deepseaskateboard mentioned would also work but not sure how they would get the total circumference evenly polished on the 437M design.

There is no option for a deep red/ rhubarb.
Always thought 'rhubarb and custard' was a classic popular combo.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Have I disappeared into an alternative universe because I’m sure I voted for this already
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

Weird. Especially as Peter has voted himself. What is the point of asking people's opinions when you vote yourself? Narcissism personified! :thumbsup:

    I voted AFTER listening to peoples’ opinions… :thumbsup:

    That’s the beauty of asking other people for their opinions rather than constantly expressing your own! :poke:

    I like the CAMO but not sure it goes with the E89..I think it suits my daily though :thumbsup:

    Thanks for the mock-ups…I think I’ll go for a bright silver for a change and relatively easy to maintain…

    Cool! It’s looks good, but I think I would go with plain silver!
    I like the idea of going for a Ferrari bright silver to make it a bit different.
