Lightbulb help! Meteor or White?

Sorry but I really can't make the decision!

At first I love white GT3, but I look at the real car, I think white looks so much better in a picture. Sometimes look too plain and not white enough? But white is very match the racing feel of the GT3. Show up the great lines too!

Meteor grey! I can't believe I will like grey. I have seen a TT in Meteor and WOO... this grey look so WET! Very shinny and the colour is changing in different view. Do you think grey will match the GT3?

Sometimes I think GT3 match some younger colour like white, yellow, red etc. BUT, I also feel Meteor grey is very special!

Please give me some suggestions again...

Thanks!

White was cool, until Porsche used the colour for their press car.

white is the only color for this car. (and for any race car, for that matter)

Colour was the hardest decision about the car for me. Atlas? Meteor? GT silver? In the end I went for white, because I'd been spending all the hesitation time thinking of what colour to have instead of white!

Double edged sword. White didn't look so cool to so many people until the glossies came out, but now it will unquestionably be the most popular color of the new car.

Just like there were a lot of yeller 996 GT3s.

Meteor!

My white GT3 is a belly button car as things now stand. Don't make it even more so, please.

You are not alone, I had the same problem when I spec. my car... options was the easy part... color was the single toughest part when ordering a car - any car. I can't tell you how many times I changed my mind. I was actually embarrassed for myself. I toiled over white, aortic silver, midnight blue, black and speed yellow... after 2 hours I had enough of my indecision and when with artic silver - the same color as the new 997 turbo being delivered that day... Now I am still waffling... I can't stand it... I need a shrink :-(
