Black or silver

Post by mivecboy »

Looking for FTO but can't decide black or silver. I like black but it is hard to clean as I'm too lazy to clean even once a month.

Which colour u guys reckon best suit FTO?

ya I would normally never get white but I have seen a number of nice white ftos I would def. buy...if they have some nice wheels and kits white is the bomb...but black is still my first choice.

Black

As well as showing the dirt more, black will show dents and imperfections more as well - shopping trolley dents etc. In your case, id go the silver. You really need to wash the black....

    Go Silver.

    I have been on a couple of cruises with many coloured fto's and imo i like the silver, just because it looks awsoem from the front, because of the similarity of the shape with eh auston martins and jag.. etc..

    But at the end of the day, it is completely your choise.
    If you can't decide the colour think about the other deciding factors like the cars condition and price.

    Well, I never ever liked silver. Wanted a black, red or white.

    Of course, bought a silver one.

    And, it does look great, whether it has been washed or not!

    Well, the bright red always catches my eye, mainly cos it looks like a nice Ferari colour

    Blue

    Post by dstocks »

    Took a while for me to find a midnight blue one (my favorite). Not as common as silver,black, red or white. Seem to see more silver and black than any other colours.

    BTW, Anyone ever seen a timber green one???. Is a stock colour, but cant say I have ever seen one.

      if your not going to clean your car regularly.... then it doesnt matter which colour you choose - all of em will look pretty ordinary pretty quickly :)

      im not a huge fan of the silver in the fto's... unless its the symphonic silver? or like indy fto's... black looks good on all cars imo.
