if your talking about meanest, then it has to be black, but best colour is really personal choise, but still black, only when its clean though, otherwise they look horrible

Yup, Estoril for me please :lol:

But balck does the trick as well, silver only on later models, looks modern yet dull, sorry :oops:

We talking colour. Not a darker colour white (Grey/black) :lol:
Blue or red are the colours. Just look at the pics in the gallery the red and the blue look just stunning between the greys and blacks.

Estoril for me, you miss all the sexy lines with a black one
Red is for the Italos, silver is ok but reminds me of a mercedes
and the rest..........dakar yellow no thanks

Silver, because it really shows off the shadows and shapes of the car. It looks like a "machine'.

<---Gun metal is the bestest! :D But Silver is a very good second.

Blue is by far the sexiest colour the MC comes in. Black is cool, but shadows the curves especially round the rear arches. Yellow should be made illegal and silver is a bit predictable. Never seen a red one but I guess it would look good.

If I offended anyone in the writing of this email...I apologies...but you should have gone for blue or black!

Pheonix Yellow best colour by far, blue, silver, red way too boring.

I used to think the same, but now, can't see how anyone can say that this colour is horrible. It's gorgeous!

I hate Dakar. :)

I've never normally say silver is my favourtie coulour but that looks really nice in those shots, espicially the streetlamp shot. I think my black coupe looks good at night/dusk too. I always think cars look their best in dusky light :lol:

I think as B3NUM says, I don't think there is a colour it DOESN'T look good in (I really like dakar yellow, especially after seeing the Nurgburgring video of one). I'd usually say the only colour it doesn't look good in is white, but then you see a picture like this; :lol:

Mine is black on black (I love it) but I really wanted either that lovely dark green colour or the grey, but both very rare and all seem to be on s50s.

BEN
12-05-2006, 11:14 PM
the grey was S54 only!

the green was boston, apart from one near me which is oxford green (looks black)
nearly all of them must be S50

Since it is a quirky looking car it requires i think a paint colour to match
so it's mint green for me :wink:

For such a mean and muscley looking car, it has to be black for me :wink:

as previously said all colours look great but Blue is THE colour!

I think if you count the choises in the posts so far then Blue will be way ahead!

I wonder if this reflects in the actual number of Blue cars ordered over other colours???

It's a close call between blue and black, sometimes I think blue can look better, sometimes black. I think with Estroil Blue, its become synonymous with ///M cars and is a very nice colour, but on the flipside black seems to suit the shape and nature of the car.

To add my 2p worth it has to be Titanium Silver - not just because I have one in that colour but because it looks great clean but even when abit dirty. It shows the curves off and makes it look a far more modern shape (not that im saying it looks dated) than any other colour, especially from the rear.

Funny you should say that.

I've got some spray paints around at the moment to paint my latest addition to my Exdos MkII Mod. I might be tempted if my paint spraying ability is up to the job.

If its a car people love or hate, then surely the ultiamte colour is Dakar Yellow? Sure Dark Grey or Black looks lovley... But if you are gonna love or hate a car based on how it looks shouldnt the colour be a non-neutral colouor like graphite Grey, DAKAR YELLOW or Blue (spot the subliminal message there hahahhaha

But Ben your right all colours look the best, just my Dakar looks the best, cmon what car in the world could get away with looking this kewl, this mean and this wicked in YELLOW!!!!
