help wanted.!!!!!!!!!!!
During my holiday I left my car in a secluded car park. On my return I noticed that some fanatics did do some serious damage to the car e.g. deep scratches all around the cars body, and I mean DEEP. Luckily I'm well insured and now I can choose the color BLUE for the repaint job.
Please send in any color suggestions [as many foto's as possible] for my Griff, as long as it is BLUE. Your help is much appreciated to find the Right color.

My Chimaera looks good in Estoril Blue (BMW M3 colour) - bonus is it's easy to get touchup paint.
See here and also a pic in my profile

Our Griffith is Azurite Blue - it is a Mercedes colour and has looks a tad purple when the light hits it at 45 degrees. A bit darker than Starmist

Pathfinder Blue, see profile. It's the sort of blue you can't describe.

forgot to mention my present color

www.tvrcarclub.nl/html/tvr_henk_van_dijk.html

In my opinion is Starfire Mica Blue a great color .......... then again I'm not the only one, so I'm looking for something more out of the ordinary which still does my Griff right.!!!

Go to www.tmstvr.co.uk and look at the Gallery link.

This shows lots of different colours (many of them blue!) on all types of TVRs from Tuscans to Griffs.

Mind you, there was a Cerb on the classis recently in that Estoril Blue that craig has on his Chim

Bloody gorgeous!!

Edited cos I can't type a url ...

Cosmos Blue is the bestest blue in the whole wide world ... check out my profile. For some reason my car is a deeper Cosmos Blue than other TVRs I've seen which are supposed the same colour.

Lovely.

wow, close call

I would go for either: Olympic or Ice blue

forget about the dark colours, everybody has them

with your grey seats Olympic is probably better

Depending on the colour of the interior, I would go for Crystal Topaz, basically a light blue, with pearl effect flip turning slightly gold or silver under different lighting.

I had a Tuscan painted this colour a while ago, and I have never had so many compliments regarding a cars colour.

Good call Mark - it certainly gets a huge amount of positive comment.

yeh thats a great colour if you like dull.

the darker colours give a much deeper shine and reflection.imho of course.

Polar or Arctic silver.

simpo one's Griff looks great in silver and blends in with the alloy bits on the engine,tech'y looking and very desirable.

Ocean Blue (porsche colour) V Dark metallic blue (slight hint of green in sunlight). A bit like starfire mica. Plus point, easy to get hold of touch up paints from a porsche dealer ;-)
