MAUVE!!!!!









Oh, sorry, you said quick, and that's the first thing I thought of! LOL.... Wonder what that says about me?.... Hmmmm... Best not to think on it....

I like white, it's easiest to keep looking clean. But there are a bizillion white ones out there. And you already have a white one. Black is always cool, but hard to keep clean and there are a bizillion of those too.

If I was just going ***** out, that Blue Violet of the 968 the guy is trying to buy here on this Forum is damn sexy. And there's what, 8 of them in that color??? That would be kinda nice.

Maroon is always a good choice. I really love these in Maroon. Metallic Maroon, or that Blue Violet.... that's my .02.

I think the prettiest factory colour is Zyclam Rot with two tone black/white interior.

I think the two darker blues are very nice ( nautic). I am partial to black as well. The red posted above is unbelievably pretty as well.

Narrow body ones look good in white, blue, yellow, some greens, even some silvers.
Wide body ones look good in different colors. Important is how you fit the wheels and the ride height.
Sligthly lowered and with a bit of offset & camber tweaking can make a silly looking 924 look, feel and drive purposefull and nicely composed.

All colors look good on these cars. If you're considering a repaint, I'd recommend staying with it's original color or else you'll have the additional expense and headaches of door jambs and engine compartment. If you're planning on buying one, then whatever color you choose is the right color. I've had a navy blue one, a Gold one, and dark green metallic one and now a white one.

The classic shape of these cars flatters pretty much every color... except for maybe poo brown.

I don't really like yellow, even though I own a yellow one.

Ferry loved his silver cars...especially for Number 1.

If you drive in traffic, being seen is important.
