Best CSL color 4 Motego with CF: Gunmetal or Hyperblack?

GPIC135I · 07-16-2009, 09:29 AM

Hey everybody!
I need some help. I’m strongly considering CSL reps for my montego blue 135i coupe. I’m still unsure on the finish! I m debating between Gunmetal and Hyperblack but from some pictures they look kinda similar and on some other they don’t. I have a bunch of CF parts on the car and I would like to match the color of the wheels the closest to CF color. I think it would look good. From what I have seen I think hyperblack would be the closest. If anybody has pictures or photoshops of Montego with CSLs of either finish it would help make my decision. If no pics leave your opinion thanks for you help!!!

I'm not a big fan of the Matte Black CSLs on Montego blue. Its just me! Right now i'm leaning towards the hyperblack

+1 i think the black makes the wheel like kinda bland, on Montego i would either go gunmetal or super silver! i was debating on either gunmetal or hyperblack but after finding out that hyperblack has a chrome-ish look to it i decided on gunmetal.

just do A LOT of research and compare all your choices, you'll eventually come to the perfect conclusion

I didn't find the exact blue that you wanted, but I found LeMans blue on a 1er right here with Gunmetal wheels. Certainly an excellent color combo:

If you need help purchasing those wheels, let me know, I can get you set up

Jurrian is the man. Definitely call him if you're looking for CSLs.
I've since moved on from CSLs, but I've got gunmetal rims now...here's a comparison:
New

Old

they're very different colors.

I vote for hyperblack. I love the shine that it gives when they are clean..... Not a 1er, but it's montego blue-

BSM 135i · 07-16-2009, 05:51 PM

damn 1clean335 your car is SICKK!!!

+1 real shiny and nice when properly cleaned up, but fades to a nice gunmetal when dirty.

M3R1 · 07-16-2009, 06:20 PM

Gunmetal for sure. I really don't like hyperblack at all...

Hyperblack looks 10x better

very aggressive imo

GPIC135I · 07-17-2009, 07:08 AM

I think i will go with hyperblack!

SV Concepts III · 07-17-2009, 10:38 AM

Hyperblack gets my vote if you do the front grills too.
