| Seeing my 1.5j is in the final build stages now, I thought I Might get someone to give the old soarer a lick of paint before it goes back on the road, She is fitted with deep dish 18" crome rims, Black window tint and a Vertex bodykit (spruce interior), The question is what colour should I Go? Guys upload some of your favourite colours that you think would make my car look hot!!!!

| Go the ultra rare green colour! Can't go wrong with black...don't think that needs a pic as they are around everywhere. |

| Go factory - garnet red pearl in this case. Non standard colours say (to me) 'HEY !! I'M AN OLD CAR AND I'VE BEEN RESPRAYED!!!!'

| Well I'm getting my 91 UZZ31 re-sprayed soon, and I'm sticking with the stock pearl BRG. It goes really well with my rims and gold badging, and keeps the car looking very schmick. |

As I note: they stand out to me. I'd prefer a car that people think was made by the factory last month (which is possible with the timeless lines of the Soarer) as opposed to an old car that was fixed up last month. Plus there are some REALLY nice factory colours in the range which can be used... |

| Yeah sorry, BRG = British Racing Green..... It's called all sorts of things, from green, to dark green, to forrest green, to 'rare' green. I like it though, very simple and stylish. |

| BRG - very fancy. Normally called FSG = Frog Sh1t Green I have one in FSG too - very under rated colour albeit too common. FSG when new looks very elegant. |

| Black with red pearl, white with blue pearl, GTR midnight purple. Any metallic standard colour (jade green mica, dark blue). Those flouro colours never come out well on soarers in my opinion. |

| In my opinion, Soarers look the best in dark colors with tint. Its always really neat seeing one in the shadows and thinking its black, but then it pulls into the sun and it's actually dark green or dark red. Especially with some dished rims! |

Too ghetto for me. I had gold from factory until I rebadged them to silver. I think it looks much more sleek and sporty now. |

| Hi All..After some Testing, my painter decided to go 6M2 (colour Code) with E620 with some added metallic. The end result is a very dark green with extra shimmer of metal dust. Can not see the exact effect on this photo from yestarday, but It's definitively a lot more elegant than the old Soarer BRG colour. Hopefully I'll be able to post pics when the kit is all mounted and the car cleaned up.
