I personally like them in white but I ended buying mine in black. The lighter colours show off the bonnet intakes,carbon roof etc much better. Black is not bad when it's clean and polished but at the moment this is not often the case with mine.

To be honest I would have gone for White, or Silverstone II, but the nearest spec/price car to mine was 3k more, for me, it wasn't a biggie as I change cars at 24mths and will do with the E92, so colour wasn't the biggest deal for me.

White has become very common though and I like Melbourne Red more now because it's less common, which is ironic because it was a colour I was least attracted to.

57 plate and a touch below 33. EDC and other waffle spec, steery lights, foldy mirrors, you get the picture...on 18s (cups)...works for me until 997 GT3 time...

Whatever colour you like.

Personally I like the white ones but hate Silverstone.

I hate red cars but think the red with the anthracite wheels looks great.


Whatever you choose someone else will always like it when you come to sell, the more different it is the easier it will be to sell as well as someone will be waiting for one to show up.

I agree that white looks great especially the way the carbon roof is set off but I would'nt buy a white because I think that white will have it's day, like silver did and this could affect resale. Black or Space grey for me with black interior.

Jerez with Fox Red.

I've got Jerez with Silver and while I love it I wish I'd got the Red. Looks much more special.
