i've seen a add for a set of alloys with carbon effect,.. but not sure about them?basically if they'll look shit?   Link other parts on the car will be carbon to tie them in,.. planning on 16" Superleggera's either this Carbon? or black with a touch of purple flake to tie in with Astor A few Moc ups,..   ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

Carbon fibre has immense attributes, amazingly strong and very light. Carbon effect is just fake. It's like comparing a Leopard with "leopardskin".________________________________________ New Forum same high quality intellectual debate!Team Zimmer™ |

Ive seen it on a M3, it looks great imo, looks black until you are up close and i think that is the best way. Subtle!________________________________________ owain wrote: A GTI-6 with a good dashboard and the seats down can outsprint an E46 M3 in July. |
