Barbera Red aka BARBERAROT

duky · 03-12-2013, 07:56 AM

Got my car a year ago and after getting rear-ended at the beginning of the year I finally was able to get the M Aero Kit for her. I know Barbera Red doesn't get much action around here but I love the color. It's a tricky color to truly capture because of how different it looks depending on the lighting conditions but I got bored and the weather warmed up yesterday so I decided to drive to a few different spots around town and snap some shots.

Looking good!

Nice color by the way, you don't see that a lot

wdeerfield · 03-12-2013, 08:37 AM

looks great! i think you need some spacers and tint and its done! I personally think chrome kidneys would look better with this color.

Thanks. Yeah def need some spacers in the rear especially.

As for the kidneys, I know exactly what you mean because before swapping them out to black I used to look at photos and wasn't sure if it would actually look good with the black kidneys on this color. I decided to stop thinking about it and just try it out and it def looks better in person. Something about photographing it just doesn't show it so well.

Yea, i didnt think they would look good on montego blue either, but i love em. I have the gloss shadowline, so it made sense for me to switch to gloss kidneys. They are chipped from the winter now, so i gotta resand and spray

Love the color!! what kind of camera were you using? how do you get the blurry background, what do you adjust?

Thanks! I'm using a Canon 5D DSLR. As for the blurry backgrounds on some of them you'll want to adjust the aperture setting which most cameras let you do. To get more of the background to be out of focus/blurry you want to have a larger aperture which means using lower f number (e.g. f/2, f/2.8 etc). You can just experiment with your camera by using diff aperture values (f9, f5.6, f2) and focusing on the same object and you'll see the difference it makes. Hit me up with a PM if you want more info.

Thank you! I will test this out

very nice color and pics! drop would be nice though

pepsih · 03-12-2013, 11:04 AM

I absolutely love that color

eldo33 · 03-12-2013, 03:59 PM

love the color and the m-sport package BUT the wheels gotta go. IMO it looks better with the 5 spoke design.

e90Nate · 03-12-2013, 04:43 PM

i really like the rims, everything flows nicely

GoRomeo · 03-12-2013, 04:50 PM

Corner delete and better LED angel lights a must do IMHO. These wheels not my choice for e90. Other than that is great!

FUTURE · 03-12-2013, 05:12 PM

Unique color

swanlake · 03-12-2013, 05:38 PM

This must be the only color that makes the orange reflector not stick out that badly. Still looks OEM, but just really clean OEM. Nice

JDane07 · 03-12-2013, 06:01 PM

Dear God with OSS and coilovers this car would be stunning.

DC_Oldboy · 03-12-2013, 07:33 PM

Nice! I like it!

remmib · 03-12-2013, 07:56 PM

Cool pics, and great looking e90. Very rare color.
