dynamic white on any ea-ed looks phat i reckon.
then prolly that blue that i see on most T series.
then its a close call between silhouette and shockwave on teh BA.

Interesting the number of people who like Citric Acid and Blood Orange.. :

I think those cars will suffer pretty hard come resale time in a few years.

Only 3?! You must be kidding. I'll see if i can limit it to 5.

Cobalt Blue (i like this, shame they dropped it, wasnt it due to the paint being dodgy or something, like it came off really easily?)

Congo Green (this is the colour that there was only ever 1 BA GT made in). I love it.

Citric Acid - what more needs to be said?!

Meteorite (on AU's, became Mercury Silver on BA's). Sick of seeing BA's in it, I love AU's in it though.

Rapid - very nice, although in certain lights it looks like custard. I like the full blown Canary Yellow.

thats probably a better way of doing it actually

(EA-ED) cobalt blue / lemans red

(EF-EL) reef green...with the EL GT wheels = great combo!

(AU) blueprint - on T3 only!

(BA) blue pearl

fades on plastic parts, like door handles, lip spoilers, window trims.

such a shame cos it was the main colour of the EB GT and ED XR8 sprint.
and my fave colour too...

might seem strange, but according to tony chesterman the most common colour on the sprints was white! i think he said over 50% were white...
