GT Silver all the way. You will quickly regret getting black after the first time you wash it.

GT silver all the way.
Unless you are professional detailer, or really like spending your time detailing your cars, black will be a nightmare to keep clean.
Had one black car in my life, a black NSX. I would wash it in the morning and put it into the garage, and when it came to take out for a drive in the afternoon it would be covered with dust, same day.
Plus black cars accentuate swirl marks big time.
Go silver.

Couldn't have said it better myself. If you don't care then whatever floats your boat.

Owned one black car and will never do that again. As has been said before, do love other peoples black cars, especially when they keep them clean. Stay with that fabulous GT silver.02 T

Hi Chaps,
I have already ordered a GTS in GT silver, however, I have just thought about changing it to black...
I would really appreciate your thoughts/advice on the spec in link below before I make a final decision.
I have never been a lover of black before but I do quite like the black with black wheels etc and even the the wife liked it!!
Ps.. I don't get offended easily so fire away.....
Cheers.....

I will order a GTS too and had the same thoughts. Even Carmine Red came into my mind.
I went checking colours at the dealers too.
Silver will go best on the GTS as with all the black contrasts it gives the car something special.
Black is hiding all the black parts and the curves of this car too much.
But .... I was suprised by Rhodium Silver. Putting it against GT Silver my wife and myself were clearly prefering the Rhodium. It looks just great on this sporty car.

I have a met black 991S Cab. Big mistake!!! Looked real nice in the showroom on day of delivery. Now it's nice for the 2 hours after I wash and shine. After that there is enough dust on it to write your name.
Never, never, never again!!!
