I prefer Sassy Grey! :D I nearly bought the crystal metallic if its the really light silvery green, but decided i'd had enough green cars, had 2 previously, so thought the light blue was a nice change!:)

Orion Grey, metallic, is obviously the best colour. [8D]

Keep away from black, it shows too many blemishes, scrathes, etc, and it's a bugger to keep clean!

Mind you, you can't beat it when it's polished!

Learn from my mistake!

Crystal Green is a pretty good colour - we ended up with it as a swap for the Orion Grey after a mix up by the dealer.

Come on folks, your missing out he best colour for the car, BROOM Yellow. It shows off all the lines of the car, something Black and other dark colors don't do.

Although the grey is quite nice too (if it's the silvery grey I'm thinking of).

But IMHO the Stilo suits bright colors it's got Great lines and it's a smae to hide them under dark paint.

The problem with severe coloured cars is they show their scars more and are more of a sod to keep clean. So that dark blue, Broom Yellow and black are the worst colours for lazy feks who can't park, or live in an area where others can't park! :)

The light metallics show off the car well, are typically fairly easy to keep clean, 'cos polishing isn't such an issue, and they don't scar quite so badly as there are a similar colour to the laquer, so scratch ain't so noticable. Only real gripe with the lighter coloured cars is fly splats and tar spots! B)

my stilo 1.6 dynanic is broom yellow and it looks great when its washed and polished, but after a few days it looks bad. tar is a real problem on a yellow car.

I love bright colours, like my Sprint Blue, yellow also looks ace, as does black, but all these colours are a pain to keep clean.

Light metallics are always gonna be popular, and are undeniably understatedly stylish. As a result these are probably the best colours for resale time.

But its all down to your personality really, do you want something smart, and understated, or in yer face bright. I personally wanted it as bright as possible.
