Yes, I know, I ran a search of this topic and it has been done in the past, but none of the pics will show up (from back in 2004...do old pictures get deleted by this site to save space on the server?)

If anybody has a few pics of Rio and Spa side by side, could you post?

Thanks!

 

Ask and ye shall receive.


I think these pictures are the most accurate of the pictures I've found, although in direct sunlight, Spa looks a brighter than in the picture.
I bet you can determine which one I liked better.

Pictures thanks to tidalwdave. Please lemme know if these need to come down.

 

IMO Rio looks better; if I had to choose between Rio and Spa.

 

i love rio because of the sparkle

 

Never realized how much nicer the rio looks

 

just whoring

 

That's a great comparison picture! I used to have to rely on AP1 vs. AP2 to determine if a car was Spa or Rio, but I can see it now

I would pick Rio

 

Whore...

 

so much yellow

 

Hmm i hated yellow cars till i saw rio in the sun in person. I love how it shines in the sun and its hard to see and swirls or and defecs in the paint.
