Are there any Green or Orange chims out there, don't see many at all, post a few photo's if you own one.

looking for a re spray that will go with a magnolia and biscuit interior.
Want to get away from reds and blues if possible, (although the Laser Blue Metalic)is on my shortlist.

Love the Pearl white but my interior is the wrong colour.

Think the Cameleon Green or Arancio Atlas Pearl would look very well?

V8frog (Dennis) has an orange Chim, IIRC it's a Lambo colour, and quite striking. No piccies on his profile but he has posted piccies on some of his past threads.

Wow, that's very orange.
I'm guessing if you're thinking of an orange like that, then the green isn't going to be a subtle dark metallic ?
I always though a dark bronze orange would really suit a chimaera.
Maybe with a DK blue interior stitched red

I know it's not a TVR, but something like this colour ; http://www.marksdanes.com/images/cars/2.jpg

I'll check out the cameleon orange, the orange i was looking at is on a sag, its also a lambo colour Arencio Atlas; lambo also do Alancio Borealis which looks something like the orange on frogs chim. looks sic!!

The cameleon green is also on a sag or there is the lambo verde ithace, another vivid green.

I guess it's the orange that gets the votes so far? I'm sure they look best with a black interior and alloys, but if i change the alloys to black,I might just get away with the magnolia/biscuit inside trim.

Reflex charcoal, a stunning colour but would be expensive. Alternating colour between dark green,purple and black, plus shades of other colours. You really have to see this on a car .......stunning.....here you go;
