I'd probably go for another Nur Blue. I still love the colour.


The new red might be nice - would have to see it first.

The orange would be cool for a while but would the novelty would wear off and am not sure about residual value.

In my l o n g periods of insanity I think a white one with red interior, red grills and black Mugen wheels might be rather eye catching (Japanese racing colours and all that).

Bog standard, I was thinking of red, but everyone's going for that now - so I'll just keep my MCB!

I have just ordered Silverstone with Full red, and I am really torn between this and Yellow. I had yellow as a demo for 2 weeks and loved it. I just don't want black leather interior again and I want the car to be quite obvious.

Its realllllllyyyyy hard, to I stick with what I have ordered or do I change? These are the only two colour combinations that I am interested in.

I'm on my second Silver, I think the silver shows the lines of the car better. BUT, if I was to have a third change, I think I would go for the new red. I like the idea of "6" coats of paint.

Mine's a daily drive and I went for Silverstone as a colour which I think suits the car and isn't too obvious.

If I could have an S as a weekend toy I'd be very tempted by the Yellow.

By the way, I was reading that manufacturers decide upon a colour for the initial clay models and mock up's and keep that colour for most of the car's development.

For example, Mercedes always, always use Silver for their development and that's why Merc's end up looking better in Silver than in any other colours.

Does anyone know what colour Honda used for the S.... ?Silverstone seems to be the one used in a lot of the publicity shots/brochure's etc, but that might not be the same in Japan.

Just wondering?

Mark Turner's MM2 photo of the shell station with the Red & Yellow side by side looks brilliant. It seems to have disappeared though.
