To be honest Graphite or Gold compliment this color very well, Black too. I'm honestly thinking of taking my letters off and doing a graphite/Cyber Grey repaint (rather than my planned gold) as well as a Graphite/Cyber Grey powdercoat of my 16x8s since they've got scuffs and acid etching from the previous owner.

That and cleaning the already s**t condition silver paint is just a waste for me.. total

Alright guys I pulled the trigger. I take back what I said. Had to repaint my rims and found the perfect shade and decided to go for it. Went with bronze, gonna try and wash it to take better pics, specially in the sun. Let me know what you guys think of it


If you can tell I moved the DRL's to the lower vent in the bumper, used Semi LED turn/running lamps. I like the placement better than where it was. Have plans for where the DRL's used to be

In my opinion I don't like it, but that's my opinion lol, I think a polished or chrome wheel looks the best on the mrm, I saw somewhere where someone had torque thrust II's on a mrm and it was sweet, I like the idea you had but for me the results weren't as good as I would have thought, none the less sweet T/A

Thanks for the compliments man. I understand completely, to each his own. I personally don't like chrome/polished, aside from a few styles(all WS6 rims, Torqs) which is why I chose to finish my rims. I'm just glad you didn't say it looked like poop lol Personally I love it. I think it looks great

I suppose this color is what mine is? It's been repainted, was originally teal.
I'm not sure if it's the exact color code MRM though :/
I'd really like to know so I can get some touch up paint.. my hatch wing needs it!

heres mine

The paint code should be 44U (GM code WA408G). However, your car being a repaint complicates things since it may have been done with a non GM color. Maple Red though (even in touch up form) is hard to blend, being the nature of a metallic pearl color. I'd give it a try (WA408G is the paint code) but I can't guarantee that it'll match. Almost looks like a middleground between the 97 Medium Cayenne Red Metallic (WA122B) and Maple Red (WA408G).

MCRM for the record:



And my MRM:

I like it I was thinking about gold or gun metal grey on mine.

Only pic I have for now. She is at Bad Chads Performance getting a new bottom end. Got a OEM WS6 hood awaiting her return.

IMHO the chrome z06s really look good on this car,i think gunmetal is a great choice also,when i lived in New Orleans i saw only 2 MRM T/As i havent seen any in Houston yet though,awesome color BTW

You can make any color bird you want across the entire color spectrum. Real similiar to RGB values.

I'll start off by this is not my car, it belongs to a guy I met last night. Chatted it up for a bit, cool guy. It's an A4, swapped to 3.73's, different exhaust but didn't find out what kind. Other than that I think stock. Mecham hood which made this car REALLY stand out. only 23k miles bought it brand new.

Sorry for the shitty photos, it was obviously dark out and on my phone.
