    New car... what colour???

    The time has come to order my new car. I think I'm going to go for a ZS saloon (4 door).



    I've chosen all the options I think I want, but the hardest bit is.... what colour should I have??

    Poll will close after two days (I should have the order form by then), there's a build your own thing with all the colours here.

    So what do you all think??

    Black Pearl


    British Racing Green


    Firefrost


    Goodwood Green


    Ignition Blue


    Rio Red


    Royal Blue


    Starlight Silver


    XPower Grey

    Insurance is too high to get the 180 I'll be getting the 120.

    But I'll be getting the body kit (so it'll look the same except for the badge).

    You do realise that by asking what colour your car is going to be, in this forum, you're practically guaranteed to have the majority of people voting for black....

    Not that I've got anything against black, but as a colour for painting my car/walls/house/fingernails I grew past it by around the age of twelve. Although given the previous options, having your car in black is probably the best option and if my wife had allowed me to have our car in black, with tinted windows, I'd have done it (it's a Chrysler Grand Voyager, so I'd have looked like a chauffer driving it, but who cares?).

    What are you asking us for anyway, you probably know what you're going to choose. Come on, spill, what colour are you leaning towards?

    Silver - Anyone who's owned a black car will tell you what a PIA it is to keep clean.

    I've got an idea of a couple of colours, but just wondered what colour the forum would decide.

    I'm going to be very busy next year, so I doubt I'll have the time to have a black car (with all that polishing that they require).

    I'm swayed towards the lighter colours, but the two that I don't think I'll have are black and starlight silver (because I think it looks a lot more like a 45 - yes I know they are the same car but....)

    I like the look of ignition blue. Blacks probably not the right choice...

    I used to like BRG, but there's a couple Aston Martins in the garage downstairs, and for some reason I've gone off it....you'd think that on an Aston it'd be the perfect colour, but it just doesn't look right anymore....on that sample pic of the MG it looks a treat though, so you never know.

    Purely for practicality it has to be Silver. Mine is a metallic illusion silver, and my god you can let it get cruddy before you are forced to clean it. Best colour I ever had. Red and Black were deffo worst for cleaning.

    Just my 2p
