New 1M colour spotted!

Joer · 03-02-2012, 11:30 AM

Interesting seeing one in a different colour. Very good paint job, had a good look. Sorry about the bad photo though.

What is the colour ? It looks like white in a fading light

superchargedman · 03-02-2012, 12:17 PM

I actually kinda like the m badge. Any more pics?

mPlasticDesign · 03-02-2012, 12:26 PM

Wow! Never seen an Alpine White 1M before!

Well, the white lines on the brickwork look white enough. Could be legit paintjob or wrap....

JHOOPS2 · 03-02-2012, 12:54 PM

The license plate still looks white, so it is definitely a wrap or repaint. I like it.

It's actually a very pale green. Hard to tell with the lighting and bad photo.

Yeah it's not bad. Nope afraid I only took the one bad photo, was in a hurry.

IZAGLO · 03-02-2012, 01:42 PM

.....sorry just not happenen for me. Interlagos Blue or LeMans blue would of been my choice.

-Z- · 03-02-2012, 02:35 PM

LSB is my choice, maybe one day if I am tired of BSM....

Tony135 · 03-02-2012, 03:39 PM

Would look very good with some black accents.

Yup, looks like AW to me. At best it can pass for a Suzuka Grey 1///M. LOL

Was it a wrap?

sq86 · 03-02-2012, 05:26 PM

Maybe its Moonstone. I like that color a lot just not sure how I feel about it on a 1M. Its really hard to tell with the sunlight though.

lcrain · 03-02-2012, 05:58 PM

That looks great IMO. Kinda like suzuka grey Audi offers on the ttrs and others. If I had the option I might have ordered that. Oh well

Jezzer · 03-03-2012, 01:23 AM

To me it looks like Mineral white or Moonstone

tv4184 · 03-04-2012, 07:48 AM

I have suzuka gray. That looks awesome. I wouldn't repaint a 1M at least not until much later in ownership...

The guy should have gone with a unique custom color like... hmm... Black Sapphire Metallic.

The "M" in grille works when the badge is tiny [like on the new M6] but that thing looks HUGE right there!

Shost · 03-05-2012, 03:22 PM

Badge is too big.

But why is it outside a Volvo dealership?!

My point was that I think it is just AW. My car has come out looking gray like this in many pictures depending on lighting condition.
