Black/White Colour scheme

What is the forums opinion on this kind of colour scheme?
Specifically the A pillars also being black with the hardtop.
I am considering this sort of thing for my next miata.
With some sort of colour/dark/black wheel with polished lip.
All opinions appreciated

Can't vote anything else but "yes" given the fact that i'm running the same colour scheme myself

Only really works on light coloured cars to get a nice contrast.
although, that one I don't like the mirrors being black. Makes them look a bit "I broke mine so I got a new one from a wrecker"
as for wheels, all black works really well.

I agree with Kansei, body colour would look a bit more harmonious, the rest is what Mazda should have done in the first place.

I like the black mirror heads and leaving the mounts white so as not to break the boot line is very clever.

Been thinking about doing the A pillars on mine black as the whites starting to fall off.

I think it looks stunning black and white. I was curious to see how the mirrors would look white so i roughly photo-shopped them.

I like how the girl is sitting in the car. It's as if she's saying, "Can we go now, honey? Please?" "Just a minute, I've gotta take a couple more photos..."

Looks awesome. For mirrors I would use carbon fibre ones that look very dark.

Looks great in the black and white photo but everything does. Will it look that good in the flesh

They definitely disrupt the curve of the top of the door.

Yeah at the moment I would be going with the white/black as it stands together well and allows for other colour points like wheels etc.
As for the mirrors I think it would start off white and see how I feel when the time comes.
