Help me choose the Tuscan's new colour

[m3jappa]

I think i know what colour i want but would love to know others opinions.

Interior will be all black alcantara and leather with preferably red stiching ( i love red stiching). Black carpets.

I am leaning towards the lambo baloon white, its modern, different and looks awesome imo.

Bright purple

It has to be either Roulette Green or Arancia Orange (the Lambo orange) I know they are not on your list but look awesome with Black or Anthracite Wheels

love pearl white myself but if I was going red/orange it would be volcano orange off the new macca or the orange you get on the new 1M just to be different

[m3jappa]

How did i know every other reply would be suggesting another colour altogether


Its not that i don't like other colours i just think the tuscan suits light colours naturally, i will look at the mentioned green and orange right now though.

Just to add wheels are black too and will probably have the pepperpot grill painted in black too.

That's my car in the link to Crystal Topaz!! If you do go for this colour then make sure you get Crystal Topaz Pearl, as it really make the car stand out.

That said... it really wouldn't suit your interior choice, so if you're going for black interior with a bit of red, then i'd go either for the white (maybe look at BMW Mineral White as an alternative to the Lambo option which looks a little chavvy to me), or preferably I would go for a deep metallic red, maybe with some orange in there too. Something like this:


So if you're interior is definitely fixed.. i'm voting red for the paintwork!

Candy apple red as above.

Check out 'the surveyors' profile - it shows his Lambo orange tuscan 2...with anthracite wheels...looks great! Even better in the flesh too.

IMO white really doesn't suit the Tuscan. Anything with a spectraflair or tint in it to really accentuate the curves in sunlight is good.

That Candy apple red of the Weissman looks ace though

[scorcher]

I'd keep it simple and probably go for something like BMW Imola red.

[blueg33]

This is very subjective, so I didn't vote.

Personally I am not that keen on any of the colours in the list. IMO white will date (it always does). Orange is good especially something like copper cascade or the lambo orange. I also like the Weisman pictured even though red cars are not my thing.

Bloody hell, i'm now really confused, so many great colours but so hard to decide.

White cars for me have always been a favourite, even before they were flavour of the month, same as red cars. I think a red car freshly polished is hard to beat. I saw a red tuscan locally last week and would kill to have a proper look at it, from a distance it looked amazing, possibly the nicest tuscan i have ever seen! That was something like imola red i think.

The problem from my point of view with the tuscan is that some colours although stunning actually make the car look old, while others make it look more modern. The white tuscan in the link above i think looks bang up to date, if that was released and sold now it would imo mix with the best of them.

I also feel that lighter colours suit the tuscan more, at least from pictures anyway.

I love the balloon white so much but do hear the comments, its one which i'll never know what it properly looks like until its done, same for that candy red too.

I won't be having paint put on the car for a few weeks yet though so i have plenty of time to decide.

For what its worth from the colours you listed I went with the Lambo white but if other colours are allowed then the candy apple red is stunning in the flesh, Terry Grants conversion he had done by Plasticman was painted in it and looked amazing IMO but beware of the cost of it.

good point re cost...IIRC i think the surveyor was quoted in the region of £6K for a full respray in the lambo orange colour....

[m3jappa]

I'm really surprised at how many people like red, its one of my favourite colours but people usually say how much they hate it.

balessexoon white still winning though

[robsco]

I'd go for red too. Few colours look as deep and glossy as red post-polish. That Wiesmann colour would be a great choice - Track V Road have a customer's Tuscan in there now in a very similar colour and it looks absolutely superb.

[Laser Sag]

Be interesting to see the outcome of your poll if it had included the candy apple red from the start, when you have made your decision make sure you get a quote based on the exact colour as some of the paints do run into silly money.

ITS THE LAMBO WHITE A MUST

[dvs_dave]

The Lambo pearlescent is the best choice as it will complement the curves of the car which flat colors don't do justice to.

Get it done with a contrasting black or CF covered front grille and scuttle panel (the bit in front of the windscreen the wipers come through), finished off with anthracite wheels and the standard CF exhaust cans. Would look very special!
