Hey Everyone

Over this winter I will be getting my Chimaera resprayed but I am not 100% on what colour I would like. The car is Mendip Blue at the moment but I think I would like to try something different. I have just bought a cream interior for it so the colour needs to go with that.

Any ideas or pics?

Cheers

Sammo

I think lambo white looks awesome on most cars .... or something expensive like spectraflair silver

Alternativley I had a moonraker black t350 which looked awesome ... nightmare to keep clean though

I have a moonraker black Cerbera, and have received a lot of compliments about it from fellow TVR drivers. It would look lovely with a cream interior too.

You may feel that it's a little subdued for such an extrovert car though! biggrin

I too have a Moonraker Black Cerbera with Portland Grey (mainly) and Black interior.
As a rule of thumb I've always believed if you have a dark car go for a light interior and vice versa.

Just My Thoughts Though

Rolex Blue or a dark metallic purple. Mines a Techno Violet which obviously :-) I think is quite a good colour, but I think they'd go well with the cream interior.

I think Chims are better in simpler colours, like cherry red or starmist green

There is a red glow Chim in Racing Green that is stunning.

Or you could go stealth, like my Sag?

What about Ford Imperial Blue, which I believe is also the colour that Ford use for the Focus ST and RS? It's a really deep metallic royal blue, and would look fantastic with a blue roof and cream interior.

My Cerb is Imperial Blue...as you say the Focus RS colour. I think its a really nice, interesting colour...my car has black wheels with a all black interior so not rally a good comparison for the beige interior but I think they would still go...?

The Chim seems to suit most colours provided to coordinate exterior, interior, wheels and roof so you would have to amke an extra special effort to end up with something that didnt look good!

as said lambo white, which i think would compliment a cream interior or go for moonraker black.

both colours would suit a cream interior, but black looks that little bit extra special when polished.
