I do often kick myself for buying a brown car.....

me too. Looks awful in shade.


Isn't 'brown' the McLaren corporate colour (f1 etc).

I really wanted one of the brighter colours but nothing was really available at the right price at the time I wanted to buy so settled on Silica White rather than any of the black and grey cars that were available at the same time. I don't mind white cars and this does sparkle in the sun

ICE Silver, quite rare and caught my eye when I was looking for a 650

Didn't want black originally, but now loving the stealth, mean look!

Yes it is, had it a couple of years now, I will upload some photo`s later.

Not sure how to do the photo uploads but here goes

Only one photo, not sure what happened, I will try and load some others.

Ok any excuse to post a picture Blade Silver wasn't on my radar when looking for a 720s but when I saw the pictures..... then in person....it became a must have. I think it gives the car a classy look, its not too shouty, but still light enough to show off the curves, the knooks and crannies etc. Carbon looks great against it. Ca have quite a liquid look to it in some lights. And added bonus, seems to where dirt quite well too

720's and Senna's look awesome in silver IMO.

Curaçao Blue is a flat paint but looks different depending on the light. As soon as I saw it in the flesh my mind was made up for my 600LT.

Do give me colours and reasons for choosing them (or not).

To be honest, it's really difficult to find a colour that doesn't work on a McLaren.

And some of them flare up incredibly in direct sunlight.

My orange one in January sunlight.

^^^ Stunning! Dodgy song though

The azores and blue are stunning, however there hasn't been a poor colour posted yet.

Blade silver has really surprised me.

Must be showing my age, the song brings back fond memories and I like it

Some great colours, for sure - keep them coming..... (if anyone has a meet shot with a few different oranges next to each other that would be great!)

Not the best photo but gives some idea of three different oranges :




I'm sure someone will have better ones.

You and me both then. I love the song, and film

Napier

To answer the OP’s question I would go for the Napier green, it looks absolutely stunning in every picture I’ve seen posted across the threads, a McLaren is visually exciting anyway so why not turn the dial up to max?

Another fantastic first world problem to solve. Good luck with your search.
