Pics taken during delivery of my G82. The bronze 826M looked awesome!

Yes indeed! Walked in, fell in love and bought it.

Waiting for someone to powder coat the 826M in a light silver finish!

I've see an 825 in silver… looked very good and added dimension!
(I will try to find the screenshot)

The gold 826 look good but kind of remind me of a firebird lol

lol anything gold resembles that era.. but it's fun and different. It reminds me of those RC cars with gold wheels I used to get as a kid…

I was taking delivery of my BG G82 upstairs.

First time I saw a BG paint in person was your car and I was so happy I chose that color.

The bronze powder coating looks damn good. I don't think it would work well on my FPB G80 but, on the dark colors it looks really good.

I love that color on most colors.

No clue, I bought it like this from a dealer. If it were up to me, I'd go a little darker. Funny I actually like it with a little brake dust… it's too gold after a wash.

I'm usually not a big fan of mods like this, but damn that gold looks good! On Tanzanite or IOMG?? Damn!

I'm also thinking of powder-coating my 826M wheels (I receive the car tomorrow) in frozen gold (similar to M2 CS) or gold-bronze (similar to M5 CS) finish. If only I can find a pic that shows both colors/wheels next to each other it'll help me move forward. And then matching the color/finish will be the next challenge!

Hey M3AWD, did you end getting your 826m powder coated to bronze? I got my g83 finally in BSM, and am thinking bronze chrome. Maybe at butler tire? Thought I check with you…

Hey! I didn't do it (yet). Still wondering if I should... I use RTP Customs for all wheel needs! I'll pm you

Good thread - watching with interest as I'm considering getting my 825M orbit grey bi-colour wheels powder coated in matt/satin bronze on my TBII G82 (anyone have anything similar done already?

)

If I end up keeping my build, I plan on going a matte (frozen) gold on Atlantis
