I see your point, but technically, black isn't a colour either

His car is blue not black, blue is definitely a colour

Well, not buying those off you anymore then, Acme!

mrk, that's the first time I've ever seen your car with even a vague hint of dust on it - repair job looks great though

Really? I did not know this. I've seen it in the flesh and it looks black. Perhaps I was wearing sunglasses.

For a few days we thought my mates M3 was black until we actually seen it under the sun light and it was blue. Horez black or somet.

Badly gacked one of my previously pristine alloys

Someone ran out in front of me, and I put the passenger side front wheel against the curb whilst avoiding them/braking...

The edge of the wheel has curb rash on about 1/3 of it, and three of the spokes are scuffed...

Not happy...

welcome to my life

Vaguely related, but on the A2 the other day I saw a BMW M4 in a lovely deep purple colour. Not sure if it's a standard colour but it looked gorgeous, and a bit different to the norm

Will get it repaired or swap it for the spare, so will still be a good condition set of 4.

Such a PITA though.

Yes, its Carbon Black which is actually a very dark navy blue. Sapphire Black is the pure black metallic.

it is! I messed up my front wheel by being a total noob and parking very close to the curb..

only to get blocked in both end(rarely if ever happens) the hour I needed to go!!!

It is Carbon Black, so blue/black depending on the lighting. Like carbon paper!

Sometimes it looks good with some dirt along those bulges I think

But then it bothers me too much and has to be washed!

Well no, its not. The name is misleading.

But it's carbon black m8

Vita · 7 Mar 2016 at 11:10

Orient blue is misleading. I can't tell if it's navy blue, purple or bloody black.

mrk · 7 Mar 2016 at 12:04

Well all I can say is that it's neither blue nor black at this moment in time, it's just dust.

Conscript · 7 Mar 2016 at 12:20

I know those feels. The lower portion of my car is filthy, looks like I'm driving a pint of Guinness.

Maccy · 7 Mar 2016 at 13:04

Mine is currently grey

Akagi · 7 Mar 2016 at 13:44

Mine is always grey

Jono8 · 7 Mar 2016 at 13:48

My ST turns from a lovely bright red into a horrible dull,dusty pink within days of washing it.

Stupid winter.

Rybo89 · 7 Mar 2016 at 14:28

Wish I cleaned mine yesterday rather than watching the ****** united game.
