Black/White Colour scheme

Postby Cerberus » Tue Apr 12, 2011 7:52 am

What is the forums opinion on this kind of colour scheme?

Image

Specifically the A pillars also being black with the hardtop.

I am considering this sort of thing for my next miata.
With some sort of colour/dark/black wheel with polished lip.

All opinions appreciated

Can't vote anything else but "yes" given the fact that i'm running the same colour scheme myself :mrgreen:

Only really works on light coloured cars to get a nice contrast.

although, that one I don't like the mirrors being black. Makes them look a bit "I broke mine so I got a new one from a wrecker"



as for wheels, all black works really well.

I agree with Kansei, body colour would look a bit more harmonious, the rest is what Mazda should have done in the first place.

I like the black mirror heads and leaving the mounts white so as not to break the boot line is very clever.

Been thinking about doing the A pillars on mine black as the whites starting to fall off.

I think it looks stunning black and white. I was curious to see how the mirrors would look white so i roughly photo-shopped them.

I like how the girl is sitting in the car. It's as if she's saying, "Can we go now, honey? Please?" "Just a minute, I've gotta take a couple more photos..."

Looks awesome. For mirrors I would use carbon fibre ones that look very dark.

Looks great in the black and white photo but everything does. Will it look that good in the flesh :?:

They definitely disrupt the curve of the top of the door.

Yeah at the moment I would be going with the white/black as it stands together well and allows for other colour points like wheels etc.

As for the mirrors I think it would start off white and see how I feel when the time comes.
