Again, fiery orange is a stunning color and YES it looks very different with different light. What i like the most is that it even looks deep with bad light, not as flat as most orange. Fresh washed in direct sunlight i'm fallimg in love everytime with the color. :hateie:

Agreed! Fiery orange is the colour I have chosen. Looks like it has alot of depth to it. Looking forward to this :)

Thanks for the input everyone! I went to view these wraps today and ended up choosing the following:
3M 1080-G364 Gloss Fiery Orange :)

The Gloss Burnt Orange and Regular Orange look way to strong in real life, colours do not look anything like the pics or swabs really.....

So im thinking

Gloss Fiery Orange Inc Roof
Gloss Black Mirrors
Gloss Black Front Grill
Brake Callipers Matched to body colour (Or Blue to match BMW Elements and provide abit of contrast)
326M 19" Alloys. Not sure on these.... I do not like pure black, feel like wheels lose all detail, Perhaps a carbon shadow grey?

Let me know your thoughts once again guys! Thanks all

Perfect!

You're right about the calipers, too. BMW blue will echo the badges.

As for not black wheels (in this context), you're right again, but what is "carbon shadow grey"?

Similar shade to anthracite. Pic from a member here on the 326M alloys.

My regular car is a Jag XF 3.0s in Italian racing red, red calipers and black pack (gloss black external trim) and gloss black 20" alloys.

The factory matching red calipers (not normally my thing) with red body really work hence my vote for colour matched calipers rather than bring blue into the orange theme, obviousely it's your preference that counts.

I have see a modified hot version of my car in again in italian racing red with black pack but with 21" wheels in anthracite grey and I have to concede these look even better than my black wheels.

Good luck with your final choices

Fiery orange is the colour I'd choose without a doubt! matt black alloys and body coloured callipers. :driving: :thumbsup:

Sorry to go a little off topic but how did you know your rear spring broke? Might be a dumb question but what was the symptom? Cheers

Loud clang when pulling out of the garage. Examined the car and noticed one side was lower than the other. Measured from the skirts nearest the rear wheel arch and noticed a 2cm drop one side compared to the other.

Cant think what else could cause a 2cm drop apart from a spring

if you want the same as mine they were 'Audi Carbon Grey' with black inners, and they looked fantastic, honestly the best wheel colour I've seen on a zed in my opinion!
