UK's most expensive 2.7?

The GT3 is hampered by being a 997 (but at least it isn't a 996 [8|]). Aside from that I think it looks a bit plain in white to be honest. It needs some coloured wheels and lairy model designation like the RS had. Then again I always think a GT3 looks like something is missing without the RS stripes, but I can't help thinking it would look better in black, yellow, viper green, riviera blue or blood orange. Not red though [:'(]

It's the noughties guys ....
- White is the new Black
- Black is the new silver
- Brown is the new yellow
- Aubergine is the new Aquamarine
- Chrome is the new silver
- Red continues to remain wholly undesirable

What about Blue? I love my Blue car, and it has a great depth of shine when it's polished - a Devil to keep clean though.

I can tell you for fact that after silver, WHITE is the second biggest selling car colour here in the USA!

Isn't that odd, we have hardly any white cars over here. I'm about to finish my first year as a painter and in all that time I have had exactly one white car. I remember it exactly, it was a 10 year old dirty Daewoo Leganza in the roughest part of Daventry [:eek:]

As for silver, I must do about six a week [8|]

They are also easy to paint match when they need repair in comparison to red or metallic colours (though black is easier still I believe?)

Was at the local bodyshop last week, and they showed me a white 944 cab they had in - (it was the third time in 5 years they were repainting the sills rather than repairing them - much to their annoyance!). They said that white was one of the hardest colours to match because of the varying shades, and "depth" in the paint.
I think you're right about solid black cars - although metallic black is a different story (they had to send away for a colour match on mine).
