What is going on in the background of the third picture? Is there another thread I should be drooling over?

One thing I can tell you Brian is that the favourite interior colour is very dark chocolate rather than black, so whatever colour we pick for the outside will have to complement that. For the outside Marc has got the hots for a fairly wild green, I'm yet to be convinced....

I'm with you on the dark chocolate. Similar to cocoa or darker?

Cocoa, similar to the 991 colour I think. We've got a sample but there is probably no point in trying to photograph it as the colour would not render perfectly onto a computer screen.

Brian,
If you'd f'n sell me your turbo you could send something to Colin for a makeover....

I was also going to suggest the granite green metallic. I don't think there's another color that would go better with the cocoa. And it looks so dang classic!

Green is not out of the question, in fact we are looking at options and will do a few paint spray-outs before we make the final decision. It's a fine line between Jelly-bean and classy, not sure which way we will go just yet....

I like granite green, but it's a lot more granite than green, for sure.

How 'bout Honda (or as I affectionately refer to it, "Kermit") green?




Seriously, I think that might really work.

Personally I'd like to see a vintage speedster (356) color, either Auratium Green or Aquamarine Blue.
