Best colour for an R8 ?

[comrie]

Hi,

what colour looks the best on a R8?

thanks stv

Who knows? Ask five different people and you're likely to get five different answers.

Personally I like Daytona with a contrasting side blade.

I saw a Misano red one a while back and it looked great.

Not Samoa, saw one in Aberdeen today, not a good look for the car.

Suzuka or Racing Mika Blue.

Sepang Blue takes it for me
Closely followed Suzuka, Ibis and Daytona

(If in coupe form, all with Carbon side blades)

Phantom black with lava grey or carbon blades.

Sorry, I like Samoa, with carbon blades.

And now 5 people have answered with predictably five different top favourites......

Must admit it's quite an odd question to ask, being such a personal choice.

Maybe an odd question to ask......but getting the opinions of others is no bad thing ?

I went for Sepang with liquid silver side blades.

After checking the car on your profile that colour combination looks lovely as well. A contrasting side blade is important.

In fact, the only R8 that I really didn't like was a black car with black blades and black wheels that I saw on the M3 one morning.

Is that enema brown?

I'm biased, but I loved my Mugello blue with Oxygen solver sideblades. Edit to replace with better picture.



Sepang with Black or Carbon looks great too.

Not for everyone.

But then almost everyone insist on really boring colours...

I thought about carbon side blades but IMO silver suited the Sepang Blue more. I do like R8's in red as well.

I like black/carbon on the v8 and would have had sepang/silver on the v10. My 2p
