What colour should I paint my Brembos? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Dr. G · 10-18-2012, 11:31 PM

I need to pick a new colour for my BBK and need some help guys. I've attached a pic below so you get an idea of how the car looks. Before anyone says I change it up all the time, the side view of the car usually looks the same and this is probably the only picture I have of my car so I can't really throw up any updated pics, besides it's not much diff. The tint isn't that light in person though, the suns super bright in the pic.

The only colour that I think will flow with the look of my car is black, but I just feel like it's not popping out enough so I wanted to have them sprayed something different to see how I like it. I was thinking grey, but then again everyone's telling me to do something a bit more bold.

Any ideas on colours??

The tail lights are switched to LCI Tails and I MIGHT end up switching to coral red interior someday so red might match a bit, but I feel like red's very common and I just wanted to try something different for the winter. Lambo Orange would be SWEET if I had black wheels - time to buy new winters? Lime Green, Bmw blue, lemans blue, yellow, chrome, anodized red or blue, a darker red, bmw phoenix yellow (performance)???

PS: No I don't need to change my reflectors ahha

baby blue or candy red

Andy1991 · 10-19-2012, 12:01 AM

Do it in Lamborghini green please!!! I am tired of looking at the orange now lol

pHo_e92 · 10-19-2012, 12:10 AM

yellow or blue

engotski · 10-19-2012, 01:23 AM

Anodized purple!

mymonkey562 · 10-19-2012, 01:57 AM

Why is chrome an option??

skylineguv · 10-19-2012, 06:44 AM

Some sort of Orange or Copper would be my suggestion. It'd work well with silver OR black wheels.

Revision2 · 10-19-2012, 07:15 AM

I'd say gold or one of the darker shades of blue (similar to the new ///M brakes) if you want it to be noticeable but not loud. Lime green if you want it to be loud and proud.

Astephens94 · 10-19-2012, 07:22 AM

Pink! You'd be the only one with that color

~XxTeexX~ · 10-19-2012, 07:29 AM

edit: here is a rotora in the color i was talking about..

jim.e. · 10-19-2012, 08:55 AM

white, lime green/lambo green, yellow, silver/grey.

don't do red

you could just leave them black and have the lettering in white to give it a subtle pop.

ASPEC135i · 10-19-2012, 09:20 AM

Looking good Dr.G. Car is so fresh so clean!

andrey_gta · 10-19-2012, 10:25 AM
