my steel mist grey is all the same shade, but a mates has a distinctly different colour front bumber.

It's also the only rev3+ car to have non colour coded body strips (as if that's something good?)

But I still prefer red - the later red though - not the early dark one for the MR2, although a red sportscar perhaps comes across as a Ferrari wanabee.

The next best has to be black, at the risk of looking too much like a Nightrider wanabee.

White is good on 80s cars - eg the Mk1s, but pre rev3 cars can look a bit dodgy with the side strips and bumpers IMO.

The worst colour has to be that wierd turquoise, which I suppose counts as green.

Do people take colour into account when buying?

The colour was about 5th thing on my list, and didn't really play a part in the choice (although I would have rejected a turqoise or yellow car obviously).

Was steel mist grey available after the rev2 ? :-k

Sonic Shadow (silver & black) has non colour coded strips :tongue:

Colour did play more of a part with this purchase, but only after i was sure that the car itself was sound. T bar turbo on Caribbean blue are hard to come by in mint condition, especially as i got a very reasonable price. Was also looking at the investment side too.

Hrm,

I like white cars for some reason. I think they show off the design of the car more than any other color, all seams and gaps are visible and if well designed the body looks good.

Maybe black if there are no reds available :(

Red is good
Red is the only colour for a fast car
Red makes the stationary car look like its doing a 100mph
therefore red gives my N/A mk2 rev 3 a top speed of 235mph \:D/
