You know the type I mean. Those cars that look absolutely amazing yet some fkwit spec's them in the most appalling colour and ruins the entire thing.

Post 'em up.

you're right, this is hideous, would look much better in red, blue or green rolleyes

I adore the 300SL, it's one of my favourite cars, but I'd still have it in almost any colour other than that. I saw a yellow one (well it was probably a replica) once and it looked superb. Silver with a red interior isn't tooo bad, but silver and black is horrible.

ETA: To be fair though, silver does work better on some older cars, because they aren't generally as bulbous and slab-like as modern ones.

I still think it's a bit strong saying anything in silver, grey or black.

Some cars just look odd in anything but one of those, I'm thinking big luxury saloons such as the A8, S Class, Lexus LS - these just look right in silver, black or a dark grey metallic.

I regularly see an AMG SL55 in solid red, it just looks nasty, like this

I disagree. I think they all look absolutely horrible in silver/grey.

Black I don't mind so much, but it still shows a distinct lack of imagination. I could live with a black car, but I will probably never own a silver or grey one.

Phoenix yellow M3.

Also any car in matt paint, or in white paint.

Maybe a winter colour, I walk past a 1 Series everyday that looks like a freshly laid turd; and I like any car that isn't a standard.
