Delighted that order went in today but can't make up my mind on colour

Went for Laser Blue with black roof on basis that
1) Better with sunroof
2) white roof only works with white alloys which I hate

Other questions that I can not decide are
Should I get chrome line exterior and whether I should go for 17' flame spoke or 17" crown spoke. Getting Chili pack and various other extras.
Interior is pretty much all black

I agree totally with the Black Roof/Sunroof idea, as it looks so much better than having a sunroof with a white border.

Personally, I'd have the Chrome Line Exterior (unless of course you're having the Aero Kit?) as it gives the upper and lower front grilles matching chrome borders, which looks a lot better than the standard. I also like the chrome tailgate handle, but I think I'm in the minority.

As for the wheels, go the the Flame Spokes every time, as Crown Spokes just look cheap and nasty.

I've not seen a pic of Lazer Blue with a black roof, or seen one in the flesh so can't comment directly. But Electric blue and Hyper blue looked all right with a black roof on the R53 model. The most importent thing is to buy what you like the best. After all it's your money your spending not anybody elses. If you like it then go for it

i cant see past laser blue /white as ive got one but its your cash spend as you like

mister.t · Feb 11th, 2007, 01:05 PM

Id go for flame spokes IMO, and plump for the chrome exterior, and go for the Chili Pack. Even if you dont need everything, it really helps come re-sale time.

my order is laser blue black roof flame spokes and chrome exterior kit. totally agree with scrogg! I think its the best colour combo. tho I would love to see a pepper white with redwood interior. Dark silver would be my third choice i think, but now im drifting off topic
