What colour best suits the S?
Discussion
HAN! What about green wth amazing stroopwafels? 
yeah this is lovely but reckon black with red leather might be best of all
Bit late to the thread but here is the only one I can find small enough to upload from my phone (courtesy of another PHer from burleigh who I pinched the picture from and can't remember their name
) Will try do dig a couple more out if anyone is interested.
I like the black but some people don't. As with all things, color is so much down to personal preference. I liked mine in black even though it was far from the best car to begin with! Not sure what my personal favourite is though, I think they suit darker, more sombre metallics even though mine is solid!
As for wheels, I like the 8 spokes but love the Oz racing alloys. So much so I havea set of 15" in the loft waiting for a refurb when I can find the spare cash. Look great when polished.

Not feeling the love for magenta?
To be honest it's not my favourite colour, I like the metallic dark blue and greens with a light "parchment" interior, and Big G's black car looks good too, but colour wasn't top priority when I bought my car.
I always liked the 7 spoke OZ wheels, but the earlier "slot mag" style OZ wheels have grown on me and I like them now. Much prefer the later bonnet with the driving lights though, looks better resolved.

don't like that metalic green as much as brg but LOVE those minilites, think they look even better than the o.z. 8 spokes!
Enough said..... Although I have never been able to work out from the codes and the ACTUAL colour whether someone down the line interpreted BRG to mean Brooklands Racing Green, as it doesn't paint match to BRGphillpot said:
Despite trying to convince yourselves otherwise, in your hearts you all know they should be green............ 
Any form of dark green really IS the best colour for a classically styled british roadster like the S.When I was looking to buy in '03 it was any form of green that I was looking for really,but the black just edged it on rarity more than anything else,& ALL black cars look damn good.White is also another fav of mine.I think it suits the shape of the S well IMO.
Whatever.I love 'em in any colour !
