Ok, painter has got back to me with a price to do the whole car, I am very tempted to go for it, as I will need my back clam done this winter when I put the louvres in any way, so only extra cost is really the Body.

Because of the trim colour (black and blue alcantara) I think my options are :

White (was thinking of porsche white..gt3rs white) with satin black light pods, think the CF splitter, wing and the dymags would look good against it.

Black, metalic.

Another blue, prefer a darker shade and metalic.

Can anyone photoshop that italian white one with dymag wheels and black light pods?

Dont want to end up with a colour that will make it hard to sell(not that I am planning to)

Was going for the orange, but i might upset matt (and dont want the added cost of changing the trim) smile

So over to you lot.

Some thing at isn't flat, ie black or green etc. It needs to be dynamic, electric blue or silver or red?

Go with the white just because you would have the only one ! - I don't think that it would put anyone off buying it

I love the white option, the only thing I could get to grips with on the italian one is that I think there needs to be a little black inside the light cluster.

Use the same white as the Exige?

IMHO the white Noble that used to race in the British GT's looked cr@p. White cars can look good but it certainly didn't work on that car as there just wern't enough reflections.

I'm planning a full respray in the new year.

First I was thinking wild and exotic like orange with black wheels then thought that would only suit Lambos. Second was a one flip green to blue but I've decided that's too risky. Quite liked the Gulf colours but I've decided to go for candy blue.

Still got a few months to change my mind smile

It was green wasn't it? The roll centre car driven by Simon Pullen and Fanny Something or other.

Alex - I think White would look great, maybe with black wing supports, wing mirrors & supports, splitter and wing.

I like the orange, but then have to spend another grand or so getting the seats and door panels retrimed.

The candy colbalt blue looks good, but what happens if you need to respray, is it hard to match again?

Flat black looks great, but i am guessing a nightmare to keep looking clean.
