ehh i dont really like gold cars

but thanks for the serious help

Tom

Hey- I was being serious too! Fire engine red is a cool color! Not very far off from Porsche Guards Red.

I like the Mazda orange-red off of the FCs, but I'm not sure how good it would look on a first gen.

^ got a pic of that on any car? I need to paint my car, that sounds very nice

comradegiant

That would look nice...

I was thinking about it, how about an old school British Racing Green? Thats a nice mellow dark color, unique and pretty but not attention grabbing.

Red Definately, and keep the windows clear.

Methinks it would make them consider it a "ghey" car.

ruby7, what color code is that? is it stock first gen red?

lemonade

and i mean....what makes for a better sleek sleeper, red or black?

RUBY7

Lemonade, No its not a stock colour, its a custom colour. I picked it off some BMW.

I have been booked for speeding once in over three years of owning this car, that was in my friends black S1. So I definately think Red makes for a better sleeper.

This would be siver pearl white on my 7. My Ferrari is black & a bitch to keep H2O spots off w/ every wash. How about Montego Blue as on my Miata (same site). Montego was used on 90 something 7s & looks dk blue in shade & teal green in sun.

Snapshot, Was that Targa looking trim a factory option?. Only ever seen them on cars in the States.

i like my white gsl-se

1RevvinFC3S

Well, its sort of like the color of the Harley Davidson F-150, only darker with more metal flake, and a 2 stage pearlesant clear coat. The pearl gives it a slight bluish silver tint when the light hits it a certain way. Couldn't find a pic, but you get the idea. It isn't flashy or ricey, but its mysterious and beautiful.

Yes. It was a factory aftermarket option. As was the Moon Roof.

Chrome isn't painted on bud. At least not real chrome.
