Is it best to stay safe or to stand out?

[MADT350]

i'm looking to buy a 05-06 T350. Are there any colors that i should avoid buying on a T350.

Is it best to stay safe or to stand out?

[nervous]

who are you buying it for, you or the person that buys it from you?

have the one you want, its your hard earned.

the reasion i say this is that i spotted Sagaris in a Giallo Modena Yellow on sunday driving through bicester which looked amazing.....just wondered if that was a bad shade for a t350...

But don't some colour TVRs go faster than others?

[hollowpockets]

This guy is a fool, but I have to admit he speaks the truth here.

It's a TVR for chrissakes - you are going to stand out whatever colour it is, so why not go the whole hog if you fancy a "louder" colour?

[targarama]

IMO modern TVRs in boring colours don't work. Colours like British Racing Green and boring BMW blues are best left to the Griffith crowd with their pipes and slippers.

Modern TVRs should be bright and loud, not necessarily too lairy though.

Make sure the interior is tasteful though - not full purple or red leather or similar.

Not sure I'n too happy with that summing up

Light blue touchpaper and retire.......

stand out! get a Cascade or a Nebula colour to show the shape of the car off to its full effect!

[Antrocks]

Cascade, Reflex, Spectraflair, Chameleon - these paints typify the loud and proud nature of TVR, and I say make beautful cars looking even more so.

Where you need to be careful is with the interior - that can hurt more than the paint scheme. Each to their own (of course) but I personally prefer black with coloured highlights, rather than the drab portland greys.....

[targarama]

Nebula is the one flavour I'd say is very 'acquired'. i.e. not so much to everyone's taste.

John, Julian - I don't think either of you have plain coloured cars? (OK, what colour is the new Sag John?)

If you have resale value in mind, then nothing too lairy I'd say. I've seen quite a few examples of T350s and Tuscans that don't sell because of bad colour choices.

[johnFairfield]

My t350 is titanium (grey metalic) with anthrocite spiders and a deep red and grey interior. It's not showy but my wife says it's what the devil would choose if he had a car and with the sports exhaust you certainly hear it comming - the regulars in the pub where I drink call it the "rumble monster".

Nice banana, wheres the car! No really, Love the colour and the louder/brighter the better IMHO.

Brown would be a colour you should avoid, apart from that your world is your oyster.
A shade of silver always looks good on a T350, dark colours hide the lines like the love handles on the rear.
