Colour choice

[LamboV8S]

Having mulled it over for a while and had a chat with my buddy at the paint shop I was concerned that a 'Peal white' might not be special enough for such a car? he agreed but didn't want to say when we last spoke.
So now it would seem a colour like Porsche Cobalt Blue or the new mid metalic blue from Toyota on the RAV4 would be a good choice? it's a sort of blue/turqouise at the moment. Any offers???????

In my opinion white suits the S really well.

I agree and its easy to touch up stone chips ect with white,

Jayson,

It does look well in white, stands out well against the double yellow lines!!!

With respect, I want a Wow! reaction rather than 'looks well' TVR's are mean't to be radical? no? at least I've moved away from the 'flip' colours idea.

I've just come back from Rome where there were loads of new FIAT 500s in a really pearlescent white. Can't say I'd been a fan in the past, but these looked great; if you're considering it I'd definitely take a trip to a FIAT dealer for a look.

Tommy,

Looks a very well sorted S Talk to me about the grills, look great better than the chicken wire on mine!

So many things to improve!!!

Brought my paintshop buddy over to see the S today and we are pretty much agreed a good mid/dark blue or red is the way to go.

I've grown to like this car. I've just seen so many pictures of it, and even contemplated buying it. Is it yours?

There was thread a couple of months ago regarding matching the dark metalic grey colour. Can anyone rember the origin? Thanks. Joe

Good choice with dark blue........and of course blue ones are the faster ones

Dark blue is good but in the past I had a S320 and a McRea Scooby and both looked dirty within an hour of a good clean.

Laser blue pearl may be fast too? Sagaris boys like the Red glow pearl but at £500/ltr stuff that!!
Lotus laser blue or back to my first idea of white pearl or GP white?
