What colour GTS bodywork?
I'm on the verge of ordering a full set of W7DE bodywork, but none of the standard colours are really what I originaly had in mind (wanted a
dark blue). However, I'm not too hung up on colour (apart from white urgghh), so what does everyone else think it the best of the bunch?
There are custom colours available, but that's just going to increase cost and delivery. I could just get white and spray it, but that's
an extra cost I don't want to deal with right now.

I'm with you on a dark blue/purple.
My Striker kit was an unfinished (about 99% unfinished!) project so I didn't get to choose the colour. The lighter blue I received though has
grown on me.

Any colour but must have black arches.

I agree with donut, and am starting to be swayed that way myself. I was orginally going all black, but am worried with the cars being so small about
the lack of visibility to other road users. But now I will probably go for black arches and some other colour for the main body work, undecided as to
which though...

If it were me, I'd bite the bullet and get the custom colour of your choice - if this is to be your 'pride and joy,' make it look
the way you want it to.

I kind of thought the yellow would be in front, yellow and bright orange seem to be very popular '7 colours. I'll ask Darren about the
impact of custom colours on price/delivery, but I'm on a major budget now the little one has started to go to nursery (£600 pm!!!).
Has anyone got an aquamarine blue body, or pictures of one? I can't find it on the colour chart on the GTS Tuning web site. Then again
they've been scanned at such low resolution you can't read most of the colour names.

GTS are currently using ultramarine blue which is quite a dark blue which seems to have a hint of purple at certain angles, not bad at all but i think
black looks good.

Looks good against the snow!! Your suggestion would work very well as it will stand out, as do yellow and black. Let's face it we need to be
seen as i have heard about a few near misses due to other drivers not seeing the 7.

Just put a deposit down on a 10 piece kit in Oxford blue. It was only £20 extra for the custom colour so hardly worth compromising.
Only thing I didn't realise is that the W7DE chassis has the sloping tubes on the sides of the cockpit so I have a couple of tweaks to do...
