Seriously considering a GTS. But unsure which colours flatter the car best. Thinking of light/dark silver with red interior. Good or bad idea? Be interested to know what owners think. Cheers.

Staggeringly good looking cars.
Really like the dark blue and also black.

For me, GT combinations. Silver, dark blue metallic, bordeaux red metallic or black metallic exteriors, interior colours: bordeaux, beige, two-tone. Stunning car that looks good in almost everything. Should be easy, really.

If you'd consider black and a slightly older (yet very low mileage) example PM me - mines for sale at a very good price.

When I was looking I saw all sorts of combinations but settled on black with a flash of yellow on the callipers.

Best one I ever saw was in Nettuno blue with bianco leather seats and door trims with blue stitching and embossed headrests and the rest of the environment in blue leather with white stitching. Looked awesome.

Starmonkey - email sent.

I'm looking at a silver/red combo GTS. But I have this nagging feeling it's too conservative. Absolutely love the light metallic blue. But seem rare as hen's teeth. The titanium colour is nice as is black. Prefer the anthracite wheels.

That blue in your post cc8s is stunning. I don't think I've seen it on the streets. What is it called?

Yellow. Saw one in Central London a year back - Fantastic.

Never would have though so if I hadn't seen it in the flesh.

As stated in the spotted thread yesterday, I seen a yellow and it is the one colour that I cannot understand on the Granturismo.

Grigio Alfieri or Blu Med would be my choices

Black.

They just look stunning.

Are you buying new(ish) or fairly old? Just as the new 'sport' is meant to be cracking, plus the more aggressive looking front end, although EVO said it wasnt as nice to the ear for some reason it has less crackle and pop from the exhaust!

I don't own a GT but own its predecessor, the GS.

For me, I think it would have to be Nero/Avorio (black with cream to English speakers) - I think its stunning.

Or if I had bigger balls (and, lets face it, a bigger wallet!), I'd seriously look at some of the reds as LOADS of GTs are black.

Rosso Trionfale with Bianco (red & white to you and I!)





http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/3970972.htm


And the colour that is a personal favourite of mine is Bianco Fuji. Stunning.

Tough choice...but a nice one!

Blu Med is the one to go for, hardly see any in that colour and looks stunning, especially in bright sunlight, although I might be slightly biased! Can't get my own car images up, not sure why, but this with yellow calipers and a cream with alcantara interior is perfect.

Wow thats odd, or rather a coincidental thread...been thinking about a GTS for a bit and mooching...have to

Agree pork..you know I never got over that Bianco Fuji Gransport I had,such a great colour & goes so well with the carbon bits, the only colour scheme for me, just shows the lines of the car so well. Blacks and darker colours sort of camoflogue things a bit for me. Anyway I like it so much so I seem to have just bought the Gran Turismo S in BF that you pic'd above...looking forward now to collecting it!
