Frozen Grey, Mineral White or Ruby Black...?

[Angelus666]

So, have a bit of time off during August so thinking of doing some things to the car. Given a £1500 budget, what option would you go for?

A) Ruby Black - the front end of my car is in need of a respray (a number of chips here and there), which would mean the bumper and bonnet and then have a decent detailer give the whole car a really nice finish.

B) Have it wrapped in frozen grey, with a carbon roof, mirrors and rear diffuser.

I'm pretty undecided, but have thought about a vinyl wrap for quite a while and think it might look pretty cool, if done well.

A.....

Will look ace then..

 

[RickRob]

I would go for A.

If you wrap it it will still be chipped underneath and anyway black is a better colour than the other two!

Hope you're happy with whatever you decide upon.

B... with those wheels in black looks great

This won't help, I like all 3 options

B or C, just to make a change. Otherwise it's a huge outlay for a temporary sheen.

 

[LostBoy_84]

Definitely option A

 

[Angelus666]

Yep, I am tempted by the wrap, as I do like the Motorsport / fast and furious type of look.

The wife did say, with option A there won't be any regrets, and it'll add some value....with option B or C you easily have the wrap and then say, oh that looks kind of s**t!....but what does she know!

 

[BMWZ4MC]

Tell her option A is like a pedicure whilst B and C are new shoes

 

[Angelus666]

Perfect, now that's something she'll definitely understand!

 

[Z4M-2006]

But tell her the new shoes are from Primark and Tesco...

Option A and then have that treatment that pvr puts on his cars.

But tell her the new shoes are from Primark and Tesco...

Hahaha...you joke, but she genuinely said I'll look like some form of asda shopping chav if I have it wrapped....but when I see a nicely chaved up car I do really like them.

The problem I have is that I don't think any colour of wheel goes well with ruby black, it's a funny colour that is kind of awkward when it's sunny. Silver just doesn't go very well.

 

[Z4M-2006]

Actually chap I wasn't joking ... Ha ha

 

[rossonr]

Black is the way to go

 

[Angelus666]

I also need to throw into the mix I have Michelin SuperSport tredwear letters for my tyres that have been sitting waiting to go on for a few months now!

 

[Z4M-2006]

Im glad about that.........

 

[Angelus666]

Ha....I can see I'm going to get some interesting comments when the project is complete come the end of August!

 

[toledo]

Option A for sure!

That detailed Ruby black zed is stunning and a lot more eye-catching than the other two for me. I think I would get bored looking at the other two after a while but not the ruby black.
