More likely brake dust if not road dust.

Agree HS looks great clean and dirty which is good...

What ever it is, I'm against it! 😁 On my MW car the rear bumper would be covered in black dust after just a few miles. It happens with my LBB as well but it isn't that noticeable.

For someone that parks on the street:

Alpine White easier to maintain and I think looks good

SB and HS looks best but needs attention to keep it's looks

Where you located man? I see in Massachusetts, I'm in Salem NH check out my IG ICYHOTM2 and hopefully we can get them together at some of the meets coming up

I've spent months debating, looking at pic after pic after pic of the HS trying to convince myself I've made the right choice. However after much consideration this week, have asked my dealer to change my colour choice to LBB with blue interior stitch.

Exactly the same predicament as you!

I’ve now ruled out HS so am onto LBB as I agree with you that it stands out so well. The only other colour I’m considering now is BSM. I am also considering the 437M’s instead of the 788M’s.

Has your LBB been delivered yet? Had any further thoughts?

I had the chance to see all the colors on the same day and in the same conditions and I didn't change my mind, HS first choice over all

In the distance you can see the difference between AW and HS


Some HS with all the wheels options



The one I drove


Last but not least


HS is awesome, BSM with 437 wheels would be my second choice, SO is nice under the sunlight but it looks rusted in the shadow, LBB has tired me, never been a fan of it. No mention of AW, it is awful to me.
BTW, this car on the track is astounding

Really good analysis and great pics for comparison, thanks for posting.

I've chosen the same as you ie. HS with the black 788M's. Really like it but have thought about changing to either BSM or LBB.

It sounds like you were in a similar predicament but there's no better comparison than seeing all the colours next to each other and it's encouraging that after seeing them all together you've stuck with HS.

I think like you I'll stick with HS too!
