Yas Marina Blue regrets?

mikeyr0x · 09-29-2016, 04:00 PM

I had a yas f80 for 2 years. Got alot of stares and comments probably on a weekly basis. It was my first non silver or black car. Just picked up a BSM zcp. I have to say that I am a bit happy to be back with black even though it is a pita with paint maintenance. The yas was fun as hell and always received attention from people of all ages and walks of life.

It's love or hate with yas for most on this board.

I went between the black and Yas over and over and while it's a gorgeous car, I went with the black not to stand out in my field of work but the Yas just looks amazing, especially in warmer climates where the sun is out more during the year.

Keep the Yas alive!!

I've had my YMB F80 for almost 6 months. I get comments from time to time-- all positive. People love it. My passengers note people looking at the car on the road.. I don't really.
Do I "regret" it? Absolutely not. I love the color! Check out pics on instagram. Username: rocknm3

No regrets!

Have only gotten positive compliments and do notice a lot of people turning their heads (both car enthusiasts and not) but absolutely no regrets. Love how the color changes in different lighting.

bmrwrld · 10-01-2016, 07:27 PM

Do you get a insurance discount for having that color?

Wills2 · 10-01-2016, 07:45 PM

Yas rocks

spumoni1984 · 10-05-2016, 03:33 PM

YMB would have been my choice had I not gone for IR

boss2k · 10-07-2016, 01:37 PM

No offence but i still dont like the color and hence i didnt get it, i would prefer a darker blue color as a standard option ( not the individual one).

I also prefer some of the darker blues, like on the M2, but I like the Yas much better than I thought I would.

6 Months in, lots of looks, zero complaints and no regrets.

Habber · 10-07-2016, 03:36 PM

It's pretty cool how the colour changes from picture to picture.

A lot of that is in the processing.

Correct; definitely played around a bit with the color settings using the Google photo app.

The last pic is probably the closest to the real thing. I do wish it was a slightly darker blue though.

There's an answer to having it a slightly darker blue: estoril blue

Anyway, today, as I was filling up, someone asked me for the exact colour name. I asked why, he said, 'because I like it'
