    Cool Which colour looks better on a vl wagon?

    Just want a general opinion to see what colour most of you like better for a vl wagon. (im respraying mine later in the year and need to decide). Both are factory colours.

    1st colour: maranello red over light silver.

    2nd colour: alpine white (or similar) over light silver.

    Either colour can be with or without black window surrounds too. I also intend on having calais side skirts but no calais front for now if that helps.

    I have a calais front that can go on if i want but i wanted to keep it as sleeper looking as possible while still looking nice and not being theif/cop bait. thats why i wanted an exec front and standard colours. Im not really a big fan of just the silver strip without the sills painted the same though. I'll think about the calais front.

    nah man it's no walky. Im painting the car myself and im not to keen to do metallic because of the difficulty so im limited to solid colours and they only ones that look half decent are white, red, and black. Black is too hard to live with so thats out of the question so im left with either white or red. i don't really care anymore i'll just paint it either and chuck on some polished calais rims and lower it.

    Blue is about as good as you can get with a VL.

    don't quit your day job i don't think the comedian thing will work out for you. Seriously.. there is no need to hijack a thread just because i told some sarcastic idiot where to go. no need to be a keyboard warrior about it i was only after genuine imput not 9 year old immaturity if you can understand that. you dont see me going off at the other knob for voting on every option possible.. If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. how simple is that?

    Yeah i like that colour but it looks better on a vk though. I also like that vh or vk hdt silver too.
    I've pretty much made up my mind now that i'll be respraying the car in red over silver. It will look better if i decide to take the full calais route in the future too but i wanna keep it berlina for a while and keep the roof racks as well.
