Default Favourite colour combo

Are you a fan of stripes on your car. whats your favourite gt colour scheme or maybe a made up stripe or are you fan of one coloure only for your car.
Personally the best one for me is the silver XWGT with orange stripe down the side.
Such a horn car.

I had an Black AU S3 XR8 which I liked, then a Silver GT (Lighting Strike) with Orange Stripes - got bored with that after a short while and finally Black GT with Orange Stripes - 2 1/2 years later I still like the looks of it and I think Ill feel the same way in 10years

Mine's a black BA GT with silver stripes. I ordered it that way because I liked Lownde's green eyed monster AU at the time but I think colour/stripe combo depends on the car. Some combos look good on some model cars and not others.

I own a Silhouette BA Mk 2 GT with Silver stripes.However Shockwave/Conquer /Neo with White stripes is my all time favourite.....Very eye catching combo and I always take a second or third glance when I see one on the road...

Couldn't get Shockwave/White when I was buying so settled for my second choice....Also love Rapid Yellow with Black stripes and Blue Pearl with Silver

No disrespect to anyone here but Lightning Strike with Orange stripes is probably my least preferred....Also saw Bionic with Orange last night and did nothing for me....Not a fan of Blueprint, Mercury Silver or Phantom in GT's either but funnily enough I think they all look tops in the XR range....With Mercury Silver both black or white/silver stripes don't suit that colour IMO and no stripes looks too plain on them

Silhouette with gold stripes is nice as is Winter White with Blue stripes and Mandarin with Black or even Venom with White or Black....Not a fan of Acid Rush, Citric Acid, Bionic or Toxic or a lot of the BF Mk 2 colours in the FPV's either except maybe Ego...Like that

My favourite on an old school falcon would either be a XY GT: Yellow with black stripes, or Silver fox XW, and cant go past the BF Cobra or 40th anniversary GT for awsome colour and strip combo's

+1 for any silver and orange stripe gt or fpv. Wild violet with orange stripe on an xy or xa looks good.

XY GT – definitely Vermillion Fire with black stripes. I'm surprised no one seems to have mentioned it. Isn't it the iconic XY color?

BF II GT – Conquer with silver or black stripes.

With the FG, I gotta go for the Lightning Strike silver, with Black stripes (and prefferably with proper Black Raccoon eyes) now that in my eyes is a sinister beast :evil3:
