Ferrari with matt? Hmm, may not be MK. Could be just bad taste

haha, this matte sounds very expensive..hahhaa...i am in wrong car class.maybe if M5i seen the GTR in matt..i almost think its stock color.

I was at kowloon bay automall..i saw a matte white audi A4 Avant..when you touch its rough surface....and it doesnt shien the same..looks plasticky.

But then, shipping for the tyres alone I can only find about USD125-150 EACH TIRE. That sort of puts me off.

Maybe you can point me to where you can ship tyres cheaper

shipping for tyre should be about $50usd each so about $200usd but if you get the rims and tyres it is free because the weight dose not go over the limit
I have had 2 set shipped over for the e60 guys

I ask 3 shop in HK and they gave me about the same price so its not the shop is ripping me off it is Bridgestone hk
I went to Bridgestone HK and ask them for a quote too and they were 2k more than the shop which is about right.

That I sort of know why. Those particular tyre sizes are not widely used in HK and they don't stock them

you know what gets me pissed off is that they will sell you 2009 tyres right now for RE11

I know they new but even 2 year old 100% new is not good and for that price too.

haha..i dunno..i bought it as a respectable work car..haha if i change too much..its gonna be crazy..but i am tempted to give it a custom paint job....because if i spend money painting it..might as well not do factory colors.

on another note, was at the peak yesterday for lunch and in the parking lot were 4-5 BMW F10's...they are getting more and more popular! But seems noone has white..how come.

White tends to get yellow and black, dark gray and alike tends to swirl. All are problematic colors. My car has swirls and hard to up keep. Bought the McGuire Swirl fix the other day, really works.

For SG, I think polished silver with some minor black details are the way to go. No chrome please.

I don't think BMW offers pearl white on any of their cars..... yet

I think BMW has a pearl white called Brilliant White. Has to be special order.

haha i am thinking vey seriously if i should support the HK car painting business

..maybe get a special color..like the matte silver that is veyr shiny..but thats veyr mk..

There are a few shops now can wrap matte film. Very neat and cheaper than repaint the whole car. May be you can try.

Wait to test yours bro. Getting the Z shop to install for you? I think that dude Hang On, friend of Chan Chi Wan, is on business trip for a couple of weeks. Another way is ask Pingyu to hook you up with Sing Fai to install.

True, rare sizes are costly.

Just go for wrap bro. Matte white? Make sure you go to TD to change your car's description though.
