I didn't take the first one

really not ken on the red or yellow which are 2 of my fave colours in general!

[Fatsterjack]

Oh gawd...... I'm heading toward yellow currently, which will be a big brave move for me.

I was totally focussed on a red Ferrari and then bought Silverstone. Mustn't play safe!

Deffo the best, but with standard colour wheels.

Looks like Guards to me, Carmine is darker

Guys this decision is causing me stress. I really can't decide. It's all very well saying look on google images, but the problem is there just aren't enough photos of actual cars in all the colours.

Also I want the platinum wheels, not black. And red callipers.

Here's my current preference and thoughts:

1) Jet Black Metallic - but will it hide the lines?
2) Agate Grey - love it on a GT3, but is it too dull on a GT4? Does it suit it? Will it look too bland with the platinum wheels?
3) White - if I go this route, I really want Carrara (but currently not available). Is flat ok?
4) Sapphire - not available. Quite striking but I really don't like older GT3s in this kind of blue - does it make it look a bit toy like?
5) GT Silver - do you really need this with black wheels? Is it a bit safe and boring?

Red & black looks great. I think it is Carmine rather than standard Guards as you say Phooey.

Some of the latter yellow shots look a little pallad. Strange how it can look totally bright banana in one shot and then pale in the next. One to be viewed in the metal before commiting to a lasting relationship.

Hang on, I think it might just be my phone. They still look pretty yellow second time around!

Credit to those with the balls / capacious fruit bowls to go for the big banana.

I'm confident that's Carmine. But, do i like it enough to spend £1500....


I also agree re yellow looking different in the pics - some days i like it... some days i'm not sure. Missus doesn't like it. Definitely needs to be viewed (the car, not the missus)



I think i'm back to Sapphire Blue...






...probably still end up going 'safe' white though

Interesting! Is Carrara White back as well?

The more I see of the pics...and more are coming on Google now as they are leaving the factory...I think black and agate are not bright enough for the GT4....somehow they look better on a GT3.

So I think I'm now down to:

1) Carrara White (flat white if I have to)
2) GT Silver - does it work with platinum wheels? Expensive colour. Possibly boring? Not many seemingly going for this option. Not sure about the bluey Rhodium. There are virtually no photos via Google on GT Silver.
3) Sapphire looks ace - possible, but it may be like the BMW bright blue that I like, but not sure I'd want on my own car. Ditto guards red & black wheels.

My spyder is in black and as much as I like it, part of me has always wished I'd gone Carrara white as it was THE colour for that car. Hard to determine which is THE colour for the GT4 - possibly yellow looking at this thread!
