Mineral White (Sport Line)

BimmerFan79 · 01-13-2014, 08:54 AM

I'm constantly changing my mind on this one so I'm looking for some second (and 3rd, 4th, etc.) opinions.

I have a Mineral White, sport line, 335i xDrive. Windows tinted (20%), and I'm going to be doing some other cosmetic mods (black & white roundels, smoked reflectors, black badging, black plate frames).

The question I have is should I go with a MW spoiler or a Jet Black spoiler?

I can see the pro's and con's of both from an asthetic point of view. With all the black accents I think it will look good. But the white looks classier...

Thoughts?

White gets my vote. I haven't seen many black parts on coloured cars that look good to me. Spoilers are meant to be the same color as the car unless they are CF. Otherwise, it looks unpainted and that you cheaped out.

I'd go with black or CF. MW is a tough color to match (believe it or not). If the color is off just a shade it will not look right. You can tie the black or CF in well by going with mirror caps or maybe even a vinyl wrap on the roof.

So the paint matching is a big worry for me. The MW definitely is a unique color and it is very tough to match. My last car was Vermillion Red which was also tough to match, but I found Bimmian did a great job.

Since the car will have lots of black accents that's what originally makes me lean towards black over CF, but I still do have doubt over JB vs a well matched MW...

Mineral white looks better as well as the front reflectors!!
