Default New Color : POLL

I've decided to make a color change, and want some opinions. My first thought was the GT3RS Green w/ Blacked Out Wheels, but am curious as to other's thoughts.

PS- I am not a big fan of red, so keeping the same color is not an option, especially at this point when the car is torn apart.

I like em all but am somewhat biased towards white as thats the color of my GT3. White also being a historical German race car color points me in that direction too.

GT3RS Orange. The green is really nice but I think the orange will stand the test of time better.

As you are recreating a CS , I would keep it in a period colour. It has to be Riviera blue, I searched high an low for a few years for a RB CS....no luck, I have only ever seen 2 and one of those was rhd!

Riviera seems to be the colour everyone else wants, occasionally someone will ask "if you see a riviera blue Cs for sale, let me know!"......there seems more chance of finding the Holy Grail at the moment, so on that basis I rest the case for a period colour repaint.

Edited to add a picture, not an M003 CS an M002 with clubsport spoilers (very nice example!)

You can't go wrong with the green or orange. For blue I'd take Turquiose, but Riviera looks great too.
