Depends on interior. White cars always look slightly dodgey back home. In a very, very sunny place though you can get away with it.

I suggest you employ someone to wash the car on a daily basis though.

This is just a toy for next year maily to do the cannonball in so I was working on the buy cheap, sell cheap lose as little money as possible theory voiced in this forum before....The other alternative is wait for a Cat c or d damaged repaired one coming up thats been inspected properly. Lets face it I'm not gonna too gentle on it so theirs no point getting a perfect newer one!

With your plans in mind. I would go for a white 360 spider. Stickered up it will look very cool and very unique on the run. Race-ready look.

P.S When is the CannonBall and what is the route?

Initially, my thoughts were the same as everyone elses- NO. Then you think "well, there's always a respray" and then Mara came up with this

You know, if you think of white as the base colour for something interesting and tasteful, you could end up making on the deal. Before anyone jumps at this, I'm thinking along the lines of the two tone Scaglietti 456 they did for Schumacher. Bit more challenging on a Spider for sure, but still....

This could have mileage... how about doing the CS style stripe in red? Unfortunately the fact it's a spider will probably spoil the line and, of course, give away the fact that it's not a CS to anyone that didn't realise already.

Stickered up will probably look cool on the Gumball but for resale value/ ease of sale you'd probably be better off stumping up the extra for another colour rather than throwing money at trying to make the best of a bad job (imo).

It will fit in very well with the 'Gumballers', Rupert in his Bentley, Wayne in his 'chavialago', Gary in his 'stickered' 355 and Joe in his lhd F50, swigging Chrystal and doughnutting in the foyer car park of some 5* hotel in France......init!
