Horndean - Near Portsmouth

Right guys im going to get my car sprayed sometime in the (hopefully) not to distant future, but cannot for the life of me decide what colour i want!

Was hoping you lot could help me decide!!

The car is eventually going to be a stripped out road warrior for weekends and trackdays, I want it to look racey but abit classy at the same time.

Ive got carbon mig arches to fit to the front yet aswell, but here it is:




The original plan was to spray it Tahiti Blue like my old car, and have bright green detailing on the interior (cage/harnesses etc.)

Just cant really make my mind up now, i think the light blue color it is at the moment would work quite well all over but cant decide, wether to stick with it or get it done a complete different color all together!

Original color off the line was bright orange according to my log book!

What you reckon?

Yellow with black roof gets my vote, or orange.

I wish I'd painted mine orange now.

Thanks for the input!!

Im not keen on yellow or red for some reason, and brown sounds pretty cool actually, might be risky though:


Black would be nice but i can see myself wanting to change it afterwards. I love the color orange of MikeRace's car!

Leadfoot, ive been thinking about lime green quite abit, i really like this:



Its a Nissan Micra Limited Edition color - i think it looks wicked!


Tom I didnt realise thats what the older tahiti was like, is quite nice i'll definately consider that.

The newer tahiti is also really nice, this is my old car (an actual tahiti):


Id love to go with that color again, but want to make the car stand out, not sure if its too dark as i want the arches to stand out aswell - would prob go for a black roof aswell. Hmmmm

I was going to say a nice gloss black, what about a black with a slight silver flip in?? would look classy i think.

maybe proper catches for the flip front for a start *tongue* the ones you have at the moment look like they would give quite abit of drag hehe.
on a more serious note, why not get the car done how you want it? instead of asking other people what they think? my mini was going to end up russet brown, a very cool colour yes but not what i wanted, now its going to be black with a dark grey roof and chrome trimmings :)
