so, this is a touchy topic, but given we're in lockdown and even seeing cars is a pita, need some views. I like brighter colours in the McLaren range, but vaccinate wildly when considering what to go for.

Let's predicate this with the fact that, from what I can see, McLaren colours are pretty damn good regardless of which one you go for (though some of the current Renaults are lustrous too) - but let's go with this:

Putting it in the negative way (and without wanting to offend anyone):

  • is Volcano Orange somewhat, er, brown, in the UK weather?
  • is the standard McLaren Orange a little flat?
  • is the Curacao Blue a non-metallic (pretty sure it is) and so a bit flat too?
Do give me colours and reasons for choosing them (or not). I've decided (as much as any decision survives seeing them in reality) not to go for darker colours because (a) the darker accents get missed a bit more, and (b) anyone buying a McLaren isn't about keeping in the shadows..... (and whilst white is cool it is not for me- I think.....)

Must be showing my age, the song brings back fond memories and I like it cool

Some great colours, for sure - keep them coming..... (if anyone has a meet shot with a few different oranges next to each other that would be great!)
