Pictures of new BFM HHR SS



Here are some shots of my new HHR SS in blue flash metallic color. The
purple tint to the blue really shows up in the sun. These were taken without
flash as sun was going down except one with flash that shows how color
lightens up with light.





Much bigger frt caliper than GXP I had and traded.

Breaking it in now- few hundred miles to go.

These are the code 19C ebony seats.

Nice I actually like the darker purple the way it shows in the first pic. That would have been a nice color choice.

I am trying to convince my wife she wants BFM instead of orange :) hopefully she will agree to it.

thanks for posting the pics, tf.
I really need to run over the Chevy dealer and see if they have any BFM's on the lot... that's one of those chameleon colors that changes under different lighting conditions.

im not interested in owning a purple car per se, but a metallic blue that changes to kinda purple in the right light sounds interesting.

I don't know what the codes mean, but those look like the all ebony seats.

You drive that thing careful in the snowy conditions now see, and don't be wrapping it around no telephone poles, hear?

eye candy.
I LOVE to see manufacturers using "unconventional" colors.
lets face it...a HHR is a cross-over vehicle. Now they have a performance version in the SS...why paint it a basic color?

The design alone is bold...it has the power to back it up...why not throw the amazing colors in the face of the public, and let them know...the HHR is not a PT Cruiser...just look at it!

FBM is awesome. Your pictures show its true nature...thank you.
I like it...ALOT!

No offense but I don't see how Chevy considers that blue. I'm sure pics don't do it justice though. It probably appears more blue in person.
