Default Cant decide on a colour!

Goddamn, what a sorry state of affairs this is.

Not only am I in a right state cos I simply cant wait for the damn thing to get here (although I aint officially ordered it yet). Now I cant decide on a colour.

I suppose black / red / silver have all been done to death.....

This new blue colour thats out, NURBURGRING BLUE, is that the very bright blue colour I have seen on the latest piccys circulating the web ? Or is that the Suzuka Blue ?

If its a dark blue, and I am getting my wires crossed, I suppose I will have to settle with silver....
....but that light blue silvery colour looks mint.

Any ideas from you lot out there ?

Chris.

Silverstone was the original silver - replaced (at least in the US) with Sebring this year. Silverstone is a bit grayer, seems to have a little more depth. Some people have stated they feel the Sebring is a bit "washed out." I don't think there is a bad color for the S - some are just easier to keep looking great (like silverstone!).

Nurburgring Blue is the European name for Suzuka Blue. It's the very light blue/silver colour. Monte Carlo Blue is the dark blue pearlescent. There are a few Nurburgring Blue cars out there already.

My suggestion? If you're not sure, pop along to one of the meets (or the Super meet). Seeing the different colours together should help you decide which colour is for you.

Anyone know what the situation is with European cars? If I go for the silver in a 2002 dowill I get the original grey-silver 'silverstone' or the new light-silver 'sebring'? I saw a new Nurburgring blue yesterday being prepped as my local dealers demo car. I was great looking but the original silverstone / black is more classy (and maybe faster)
