[QUOTE="M3ac, post: 481946, member: 21378"] IMO, both are great colours to get and some say White is the new Black. It goes very well with the performace kit or M Sport Bodykit. If you enjoy washing your car with TLC then either Alpine White or Black Sapphire Metallic is equilly tedious to take care. Mine is Black Sapphire and I enjoy washing my car personally. However, with Alpine White, you will need to take a little bit more care especially when it's the rainy season, after each rain, if the car is not clean, you will see water marks as well a grey water streak lines flowing downwards. Extra care to was the care more regularly is required as compared to black. But the good news is, its harder to spot the swirl marks or the cobwebs on the clearcoat as compared to Black. The drawback for black is this, after a good wash, the moment you drive the car out and come home, you will see a layer of dust on the car. After two days, the dust gets more apparent, on the fourth day it gets unbearable (according to my standard), so....still need to regularly wash the car. Now, in short, if you dont mind not washing the car for a week regardless how it looks, then any colour will do. But if you are very particular with the aesthetic cleanliness, shine, gloss, etc....Hmmmm, then a lot of hard work, time, effort is required for either colours. For me personally, Black Sapphire is slightly easier to take care than Alpine White. Ask Toiletroll, he can share with you his experience and challenges in keeoing his Alpine White M Sport clean and stain free. After the detailing TT with KC the detailing sifu, at least there is light after the tunnel for him and his "White Knight" [/QUOTE]
