12C colour preference

[TISPKJ]

Tempted to have it wrapped "rusty brown" or VO as its known more commonly

[SELON]

Lol.

As you know, I am particularly fond of VO. But then again I don't think there is a colour I don't like on the McLaren! I change with the wind! Can't be too many sleeps now for you...

Anyway, I'm off to have a swim and a massage here after a lovely drive from Nuremberg...

Bit late now but ...
How about Ice Silver then ? one of the Elite range of colours.

I love Ice Silver !
The P1 at the McLaren Tech Centre, I think it is customer car number 1, is of that colour and it is absolutely superb.
But then, I love blue cars (and the ice silver is a very bluish metallic grey) so I could be the only one !

Not many around that is the problem.

Awful colour!

Because it looks too much like Astons Lightning Silver

[SELON]

Even fewer around now ... TISPKJ !

When I change it will be for a non silver ... Hopefully! But yes, I am a big fan of the light silvers!

I was unsure until I saw it in the flesh ....... Looks superb but I maybe a little biased

What colour interior has it got?

And interior carbon or no carbon?

Paul Bailey lives near ish to me and I have seen him out in his 12c coupe out every now and again, ice silver with red interior. They do look great and low, and despite what some say I think it sounds pretty naughty

As it's Friday ..

[Car Mad Dave]

TISPKJ, Looks fantastic with the sun bouncing off it, almost a liquid metal look in the photo.

[RamboLambo]

Nice colour and the contrast with wheels, carbon and brake calipers etc... Works well.

Colour is always a personal thing so there is no right and wrong as such but a good combination of the details ( Wheels, vanes, mirrors, calipewrs etc.. ) is also important for the overall effect.

[baypond]

I have to say, having seen your car in the flesh, it looks superb. The carbon intakes and wheels really make the car. Beautiful

[TISPKJ]

Thank you.

[TISPKJ]

You won't be liking this idea I'm working on then

[TISPKJ]

Trying to capture this idea.

[TISPKJ]

Current idea is to follow the shape of the air intake you can see in the first picture, so about half of what you see in the second photo, I don't know yet originally I wanted to spice it up a bit now I'm just looking at and admiring its purity and simplicity and clean lines etc.

[cho]

Don't do it.

[RamboLambo]

Definitely don't do it !

Car looks fantastic without it and hideous with it. Fair enough if its for some road trip/rally but after a few weeks I think you would hate it

[DaveOrange]

Having also seen your car in the flesh I echo the above comments of "don't do it!" It looks stunning as it is.

It's not the best colour though
