E55
Looks good. I have not seen another e55 with the merlot (other than my own). I love the contrast and it looks great on a black car. well done

Why did you switch to black?

I like the wheels and the merlot inserts, very nice.

Wheels cost £550 to paint, included was painted the grille obsidian black too.

so thats about $1000 to have the wheels sprayed.

I like the way you painted the wheels, but I'm not a big fan of that grill.

To be perfectly honest i was after a black one in the first place but found none here that suited my taste, plus the fact that my previous to cars were silver C32, 330i sport so i wanted a change.
