Carbon black ... after a few weeks

[CBlack1105]

I've had Carbon Black a few weeks now. My views so far...

- It's a very cool/different colour. It's relatively rare and so looks more "individual".

- Yes, it gets dirty quickly, but probably not really any worse than black or any other dark colour.

- The colour is more "black" than I expected. I live in the Caribbean and expected the sun to bring out the blue more - I actually notice the blue particularly under artificial light - i.e. at night. Generally, most of the time you look quickly and see black, then you look more closely or get closer and you see the subtle blue.

- I went for matt black window surrounds, not the bright chrome standard. I'm very happy with my choice.

- I have black vents/grill - still wonder whether titanium wouldn't make it look ultra cool.

- I have black leather interior with the cosmos black trim - door handles inside still have that metallic/grey trim. I'm happy with this vs wood. Amazingly, black outside + black inside has not made the car horribly hot, despite normal daytime temperatures in the 90s (30-34C).
