What is the opinion on best colour for a Noble. I couldn't help but notice the Yellow one at Britcar also a few red ones.

Explain what "best" means to you?

wow....has this question done the rounds before!

Titanium is the most popular colour of the nobility...and therefore the favourite (including yours truly)....but also therefore the most..."common"

As an alternative, in order of preference I would go for:

Joust's blue
Fezza red
Bright yellow

Don't think there's a single white one on the road, so old english white, or that pearlescent white TVR do might look pretty cool also.

In general silver/titanium look good into old age, hiding most scratches and still looking good when dirty. Dark colours show up the dents a bit more, and armourfend edges, but the colours look darn good when cleaned and polished

At the end of the day its all down to personal choice. Don't listen to us on here check out the photos for yourself and go your own way.

You may even go for the Rover green look (picture, I'm sure will appear here very shortly)...which is quircky and wonderfully suitable for the spanish sun!

Have fun choosing,

Morten

Just Zymol'ed my car and I've got to say that Indigo Blue looks amazing during sunset. One of the best colours IMHO.

A mate is having his Fezzer Xymol-ed today and they want £350 (and no, he doesn't get to keep the unused bottles!) - is this good?!

Depends.

If it includes 5 or so hours of labour, then that's not too bad assuming the person doing it is skilled and they do the full "three step" process.

That photo doesn't do the car justice.



And seeing as you're all expecting it, here's one I prepared earlier...

Prices range from £250 to £500. It will be an all day job involving:

Autobathe - full car wash
Dry - car fully dried
HD Cleanse - to prepare the bodywork for the wax by removing all the surface crap
Followed by a nightmare session of applying the wax!

All this plus the wheels and interior getting done.

Any decent detailer will give you a maintenance kit that you get to keep afterwards. This is to allow you to top up the wax.

My baby is lotus gunmetal. Looks very classy.

Although I think guards red would look good too.

Yes, it's a special. There are only two that I know of, one is in scotland and I have the other one.

The dark grey that noble use now is a very close match to Lotus Gunmetal, but I think it's a bit lighter.
