just got the car back with the paintwork done that I wanted....gloss roof and mirrors,matt black roll hoop covers.I'd fitted black grilles a few weeks before but am now deliberating what colour to have the 294’s done next winter.....opinions greatly received as I'm not the best at visualising this.
Only colour I thought was suitable was "GTR black"(powdercoaters description)with a hint of chrome for highlight....slight shadow effect

Sorry for the poor pics,I didn't have time to find a more suitable location.
Got the sprayshop to remove the Z4 badge off the back also....just looks better IMHO

If it was me I would leave the outer rim in a silver and have the inner done in a shadow chrome or a black chrome definitely
wouldn't get the whole wheel done in one colour
 
Like the roof and agree that dark wheels would look good with the white body. :thumbsup:

Need more pics from other angles showing off your new grills, hoops and mirrors. Looking good though.
 
Sorry never put my two pennies in for a colour but although I said a dark colour would be good with the black roof it they would need to be black in my opinion. :D
 
Adding black roof,grills,mirrors to a white car is only going one way :evil: needs some 19s to bring the curtain down in style 8) jmo of course :D

Surprised you don't fancy the black roof treatment for yours Mr Wilks - would look great with your current wheels?

Nah not for me & i'l tell you why :roll: I think (jmo) that whilst the E89 looks great as a convertible with its roof away with its roof up looks every bit a sleek coupe :) giving the lucky owner 2 cars in one
Contrasting roof colour spoils that look for me , sorry to the OP for any negative vibe there :cry:
