Choosing a colour is freaking me out!
I can't seem to settle on a colour for my Indy bodywork, It's a bit like my wheels, I took ages deciding and it stesses me out.
Anyway this week I have gone from White, to Rizla Suzuki Blue, and now to Yellow (which I know is very popular) I plan on having a few nice carbon
bits on it like cycle wings, light housings and aero screen. I will also be having the full cage.
I don't want red or black or orange or dark blue etc etc.
Anyway just thought I'd vent!

Carbon looks even lovelier when it's set against white (and white seems to be the new black in car terms)

i don't think you should have a yellow one with a full cage
i agree with uncle fista. chris mason's indy looked really good in white and carbon
what wheels have you got?

I think I will go for a graphite colour rollcage. Don't worry indykid it wouldn't look too much like yours.
I'm with you Razman, I am getting more and more tempted by the yellow and carbon combo. My mates got a triumph t595 in yellow and it looks
awesome.
Interesting that the rizla blue is not getting any thumbs up.

I'm going for a metallic silver grey (saw it on a Nissan 350Z) with metallic charcoal grey rear wings. Carbon CSR type aero front wings,
aeroscreen and dash. Dont paint yours those colours though - i want mine to be unique (well its a Tiger anyway so not so common).
Do something totally different i recon - I was very tempted by a blue / green colour that you get on the new Vauxhall Tigra - very bold and
surprisingly bright

That sounds like a great combo. I do want the colour to be easily seen by other drivers in the hope that they don't crash into me.

I had a white carlton estate and it never looked dirty unless you wiped it while it was dirty ( if you see what I mean) My current dark green Omega is
a pig to keep clean NEVER AGAIN a dark coloured car. I'd go for either white with the carbon or yellow with the carbon
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

if you have yellow and carbon, you'd need black wheels.
it might make it look like mine, but it might as well look right (IMHO of course)
i think with any light colour and dark arches, you need darker wheels.
white with black arches and silver/white wheels does work though.
