The majority of the recent cars built have been UV and silver with white and lava falling back. I think people got a bit over-saturated with lava even though it's great colour on the RS.

Let's be honest, no matter what colour an RS comes in, it will have no trouble in selling.

As I'm the OP I have to be clear that I never mentioned resale value. That's not part of the color choice equation for me, I just wanted opinions from like minded folks that may have picked GT silver and evaluated or ended up with UV. I'm fascinated with the reactions regarding UV, it's truly love it or hate it which makes it even more confusing because I don't mind it which is neither emotion!

i don't mind it either if that's all you can get, but if GT is on the table i'd take that. UV isn't terrible (i've seen much worse) but it's not that appealing either. just kinda meh.

resale: pointless. if you worry about that, dont bother with the RS
color: very personal. UV or Silver.... or pink would be my choice

if you can't decide on silver vs UV, then you dont like either enough.
so get white or LO

My RS arrived today - UV/ black with the yellow CCX stitching - think it looks great...

Only pictures for now - collect tomorrow so more to follow - but they cocked up the door pulls as they should have been yellow too

Looks great. U aren't the first one that's said door pulls got left off. Did you specify door pulls in yellow separately or was it assumed they would come yellow with rest of stitching/interior?

You would hope they were ordered in yellow, unfortunate if not.

not a big fan of GT silver.. on my CGT I did the satin wrap and it came out 100x more aggressive. this is a great option and obviously will protect the entire car.

Thanks for posting the photos of the UV and GT Silver. Since I can't get PTS, I have narrowed my choice down to one of these 2 colors. Both look awesome to me. The GT has history and tradition and the UV has exclusivity (for now). I have not seen a GT Silver in the wild yet.
