Re: Best Colour?

Meh!

Red all the way fella tbh. The paints that soft on them a black car would resemble a scene from startrek with in a couple of years.

That said I do like the white as well lol.

Its down to personal choice at the end of the day

Re: Best Colour?

as far as i am concerned fiat dont do enough colours for the gp sporting very limited indeed,no doubt they will introduce some new 1s in the new year along with a facelift i personelly think its the wrong time to buy a gps because of the impending facelift.as for the existing colours they have a cheek to gharge extra for every colour barring white which i think is daylight robbery........

Re: Best Colour?

A facelift will probably concentrate on the interior - the exterior really is perfect as it is.

Re: Best Colour?

lol ok i'll knock out the black, so i'm down to red orange and white. lol, i've decided to go for the leather interior, but not sure on the skydome, i think it really looks the part but the missus is abit unsure. she says there is no point in a sun roof if you have A/C.

Re: Best Colour?

Cars and colours? To me the popular and desirable colours are the ones you see the most of. If JCB-yellow, jaffa-orange and twyfords-white were so desirable you would see more cars that clour on the road.....or am I thnking to hard.
When the car does end up on the secondhand market rare colours lower the value and make it difficult to sell, unless of course its on some exotica. Say in 3 years time you wanted a used GP, you had the choice of New orleans blue or twyfords-white, what would most people go for??? You may go for the white because you think you are getting something special but the other 99% who dont give a sh** will go for the blue because its a far more appealing colour. Then the white becomes more difficult to sell and its value drops.

Re: Best Colour?

That's not what you see on these sorts of enthusiast cars. Remember these are the sports versions. They will hold a good price on the rarer colours. Just check out the cost of the pearl coloured Alfa GTVs. Still holding almost the full cost of the paint (£1000 when new) over their red or black sisters.

Maybe on the basic GPs its true that the plain colours will win - but not for the quick ones.
