Yes the LBB looks a little different in showroom pictures and in direct sunlight but its a very stunning color i get attention everywhere i go, just people looking every time i take it for a drive.

I'm local to you in New York if you'd like to see what the LBB looks like in person. It's pretty striking! PM me if you'd like.

There are definitely colors where the blacked out bits don't mesh well IMO. LBB is one of them. It needs the chrome. Donington could go either way. The lighter colors, and pure black, look pretty good with the black bits.

That said - it's your car. Do what you want .

Yah totally i agree. In my opinion some of the cars just look better on chrome parts but i will sometime do a build on my LBB and just blackout the roof dechrome the car and add some black rims and drop the car.

18,000 miles at an average mpg of 9.8. I am very impressed with how well they held up.

actually, when i see a black x5m with black kidneys i think it needs the chrome.

I think it looks menacing on a lbb.

here's my car from my surveillance camera view (sorry-blurry)

The only thing that is worse than the dealer plate frame is when the dealer adheres their decal or emblem to the rear of the car.
