What colour V12V do I buy?

[DMC2]

Biased opinions only please

What colour should I buy a V12V in... Carbon Black, Tungsten Silver or Meteorite Grey...

why so cliche. why not red or blue or something.

Meteorite; because I've got one and I like it. Black is shows everything and Tungsten (while very nice) is a little inbetween!
Now, lightning silver is gorgeous and cobalt blue is striking... and here we go...

I would go for what you like the most so don't be swayed as any of the colours you mention are all 'tidy'.

Amethyst red......

Or if you want a grey, get ceramic

Nice dark green, close to British Racing Green, or a nice dark blue

[JimboA]

Of course Madagascar Orange makes a statement... but we're getting ever further from your question. Personal taste.

Ceramic Grey, what else!! Francis knows it is the Sparkly One

[tonyhall38]

Because after years of 'in your face' cars and colours I like something subtle that I can use every day.

I saw a Ceramic SP10, I thought it was a bit bling in the sun...

Agree that carbon black is fantastic but really, really difficult to keep looking good. I have had a couple of Meteorites, Titanium and Tungsten. I always found Meteorite a bit flat, really liked Titanium but absolutely love Tungsten. It has so many elements to the colour and love the sun shining on it and the brown fleck that comes out - which goes really well with a bitter chocolate interior - but of course I am totally biased because that's the colour combo that I have on mine. Probably doesn't help much - but you did ask!!

I'll say it before George does... ...Hardly Green (it really is)

Subtle, classy but not one of the "Fifty Shades" collection.

And then make sure the wheels are black, it's dripping in carbon and you put a dubiously mis-spaced number plate on it

That is currently winning in my head so far!

The darker colours do have the advantage of toning down the bonnet vents if that's your preference.

A bugger to keep looking like that though

For me the best two today are Carbon or morning frost.
