There's someone with a really interesting deep metallic burgundy colour. Probably got a picture of it somewhere but this is the closest I could find. Possibly a bit lairy but if it was done right it would look awesome...imho of course.

Is that the Holden Hot Rod that was built, say about 10 years ago? Never cared for that style hot rod until that car hit NAIAS and I saw it in person. Increidible. You Aussies have a seriously underrated car culture.

+1 on the Glacier. Here's a shot of mine, pictures don't really do it justice, it looks much better in person:

I voted for one of the 3 given choices. That Holden burgundy is fabulous!

Glacier does look amazing... Thanks for the pics.

Any one out there with an interesting shade of silver or gray that can post a pic or two???

I did have a 928s many years ago that was burgundy and it did look really nice but not my fave for a 951.

Every time I look at your car Patrick it just looks so mean, especially with the BF kit and the black NT03M's... I just wish black wasn't so hard to keep clean, that's the beauty of silver or red.

Got it in one Harry! Yes, that car is quite something isn't it. We do have our own car culture. It's very Australian and not particular wide ranging but there's the odd jewel here and there. Very much on the back of the US cars but with our own little twist.

I like that Glacier colour too. It's very subtle but classy all the same.

Ahh, here you go Paul. Just one more time....and to those that say they don't like Black on Black...I say phooey!

ps...the next time my car is publicly shown it won't look anything like this. Every single panel will either be different or modified...and that's just on the outside.

I like the Matt gray on the SUV, but straying pretty far from the norm. Might make resale difficult. The rather drab old school gray is not my style, but some like it.

^ Is this Glacier Blue?

p.s my car lol, should know. It is an 86'

Or is this crystal green metallic, it is hard to tell, but the Glacier Blue looks like a 88' and newer color option only.

Spotted a Turbo-Pig last night in Glacier Blue and it looked fantastic... that really is a sharp colour and I would imagine it shows off the 951's lines nicely.

I think that I have narrowed it down to 2 colour choices:
1. All black like Patricks car with same Enkie wheels
2. Glacier Blue with Gunmetal 993 Targa wheels

Black is my vote as all interior areas are this collar already. It would make it look much better to open the door, hood etc... And see the black.
