Always liked this picture of the green.
Don't know who that 'bloke' is in the blue one.

I'm not sure who was driving the blue car but I believe another green chim, possibly with an orange stripe beat it as well :scratch chin:

Apparently that blue car goes faster now, we shall see.................

I believe the smoked chrome wheels work well with the Iris Blue.

I second Imperial Blue, I had a 450 in this colour with grey leather, a fine car indeed....

Imperial blue, Viper GTS blue or Red Bull blue for me.

I was going to respray my Starmist Blue Chim one of the above colours before the engine lunched itself after a bit of oil drought. Was never really a fan of Starmist Blue.... Too dark, too dull. I think it was the most-ordered paint for Chims overall?
To be honest, I like all of the Blue's on a chim. I finally went for Viper GTS blue in the end...... car's not finished yet smile

Silver is low on popularity it seems but I quite like mine. Yes it looks a bit plain but good in the right environment maybe? Arty one in Hay on Wye last summer. Well, my attempt anyway:

Haha a bit of banter between the old codgers. Blue is always the quickest as we know. See you all at A track soon I hope guys.

Mine is Iris Blue, which I love....

But one day I will have to repaint it yellow!

I think yellow looks fantastic on the Chimaera.

I would have chosen purple if I could have found one but after much searching finally opted for the simple and tidy look of silver

Well, colour code on chassis plate leads me to believe mine is GTS Viper blue - so that obviously!!

Looks very different in different lights though - best on a bright sunny day!!

That sir, is stunning. I'm really leaning towards silver. It's so crisp, clean and rare. Although I may go for a non TVR silver. Not decided 100% yet.
