Red or White

White with blackouts looks amazing on SII. Can't go wrong with red either although timeless colours like white/silver/black tend to age better in my opinion.

White with the blackout pack for me....looks so good when it's clean.
Wasn't a big fan of the other colors available, and blacks a pain to keep clean.
Go the white

I hope Wannabe Nomads doesn’t mind if I post some photos of his car from his 'Show Off Your Ride Thread' as it’s a fine example of black on white.

Thanks all for replies and pics. I went with red in the end! (despite some better response for white from everyone). It was a harder decision than naming my children! I always was sold on white, but something about the front end of VF2 doesn't do it for me in white like it did on series one, so red it is! Was thinking of black roof but went against it.

Good choice.

Went through the same thing myself. love the red hot, seriously love the white with the all black trim and also the black on black but as the car sees a lot of dirty and dusty roads, the black and also the white were not very practical. (particularly the black, I'll never touch another black car after having owned two)

In the end I went for red hot and I must say after owning it for 7 months I love the colour even more. When covered in dust it just looks a bit darker unlike all the sad looking dirty white or black cars I see around.
Also decided against the black roof which in my personal opinion makes them look old.

Can't go wrong with white

Saw a sedan in 'some like it hot' for the first time the other day- looked awesome. Way better in the metal than photos do justice!

I walked into the dealership to buy a white Ute with blackouts as I’d seen a few VF2 with that combo and thought and still think they look sensational.

I walked out after ordering this.

A lot of people think it’s a crap colour but I love the look of it when it pops in the sun and it also means I’ve got an unpopular colour which makes it a bit more exclusive.

For a colour most people don’t like I see a lot of phones pointed at it to snap a photo whenever I park it out front of the shops at home and even though 99% of people don’t take any notice of cars, those that do often spin to watch it go by.

And when a young fellow in an FG XR6 takes the time to pull up beside you in traffic and winds down the passenger side window to lean across his girlfriend and say ‘it’s still a piece of ****’ you know you’re definitely on a winner.

I reckon a lot of people choose white & fleet metallic white (often called silver) because they think it helps resale; ignoring how boring it looks.
Then when people see a real colour, like yours, it pops.
I get heaps of people saying the dark mica green looks great; yeah, it shows up dust worse than silver, but it also looks less like a rental than silver.
