Ah, brake dust black. The colour of choice for those that like to drive but not clean their cars :-)

Cheers,

Yup, I'd have gone the other way with them and done them bright silver to lift the colour of the bodywork as opposed to the murderer look lol :thumbsup

I've gone for gloss black too. Not as easy to keep clean as you might think.

My winters are on satin black and my summers are gloss and whilst both are better than alloy coloured I had on my previous Evora, neither look clean for very long, and as per the above post are difficult to keep clean. However as I hardly wash my toys (Isn't that what Craig's boys do at annual service? :wink: ) 'It is definitely better overall. :thumbsup

I have a to say, i could never make up my mind if i liked my car on the black, or the gunmetal wheels that were on your car, it did look totally different with a wheel change. My black wheels are now needing a refurb, after 13 years.....would have still been OK were it not for some carbon metalic pads that i fitted.
