If I'd had the choice I think I would have gone Cobalt blue on mine.
I've been thinking about painting my 996 [currently Silver] a colour from 997.2 palette [I think] - Aqua Blue. Maybe even leaving some details in Silver so it is a combo of Silver and Aqua Blue. Mainly Aqua Blue.

I guess shoulders forward the price you pay for more leg room… as in the seat needs to be more upright.

I think that's been for sake for a while. But I would have that over the Ferrari any day!

Just put these Aurum gold wheels from a 996 onto my 986 and while it was meant to be temporary I'm now thinking I really like the combo. What do people here think?

Hmm, think it needs to be two tone white / red like an Elan Sprint / Elise, for it to work.

Afraid it's a no from me. Gold next to red just doesn't work.

That’s like showing a picture of George Clooney to show that grey hair looks good on men. I mean it maybe does on him but he has the benefit of looking like George Clooney.

Funnily enough I don’t mind Aurum wheels on a 718 GT4 in guards red but it doesn’t work on an old Boxster.

2011 Quattroporte, 27,801 miles, £20k.... OK it's quite strong money and a pretty uninspiring spec, but that apparently includes a 12 month Sytner Warranty- on an 11 year old Maserati. How much do we reckon that's worth? laugh

Possibly to look but probably not to buy. Mind you that's how I ended up with the SL... which I need to sell really before I do anything else except maybe lease an ID3 for work.

He had two V8 ones as well - a Converse Engineering one with a supercharged Ford small block, and one with an LS.
