    1. White - Perfect!
    2. Black, but shows dirt, scratches and dints too much
    3. Silver, don't think it suits the FTO very well
    4. Red, sucks. I would only ever buy a red car if it was a Ferrari

    Hahahaha, brag brag brag. :lol:

    Silver for the win! Silver always has a classy look about it....Porsches and Mercs are in silver, so it gives it this classy appearance.

    ok

    I
    M
    O!

    any car i buy i want to be as lighter colour as possible ie, white, cause it is the easiest colour to custom over, who here plans, or wants a new paint job? and your going to get 1?

    in the end the FTO is not about what colour you have, who cares, i care more about what people have done with their intake and exhaust setup as well as suspension because in the end they are the things that make the car great...

    white.... my answer is white....


    EDIT:

    I hate silver, its far too common, and it doesnt really show the curves of the car enough, and red! palease, its not a ferrari, its never gonna be a ferrari, that colour is hideous

    i wanted a black 1 when i bought mine... but now im going metalic wasp yellow

    white is the best and looks hot in the snow! (looks hot actually eveywhere for that matter...he he)
    my next choice would probably be that factory blue, then black, then silver, then red...

    mine is white, and thats the only colour i wanted at the time.

    Having said that its a nightmare to keep clean. I wash my car every weekend, and every little piece of sap or possum sh*t tends to stain the car..

    my choice would be

    white
    black
    symphonic silver
    red
    silver/grey

    Well, the answer to that is quite simple. Basically, over the past few years I have noticed that most people do not share the same good taste as I do. There for, it is the most popular...


    But seriously, I like silver but I just don't think it looks right on an FTO. White looks the best for an FTO, especially a Version R, with white wheels. Looks so sporty

    the thing is, the silver gives the FTO a prestige look about it, while the white gives a more racer look. Depends what look u like more.
    I pointed out a stock red FTO to my mum and she didnt even recongnise it!! 8O the FTO does have a different look in different colours.

    My fav is
    Icellic Blue (Rare)
    Silver (like mine :D )
    White
    Black

    Well, if we are allowed to choose other than the four listed, I would have to say that I like both Blue shades best (Icelle Blue & Midnight blue). Dont mind the yellow either.

    Anyone ever seen a Timber Green One in the flesh????

      Oh you took the words right outta my mouth....must have been while you were.....er.....posting before me? :lol:

      As Milsy said, I prefer the silver because it gives it a prestigious look as opposed to a JDM look.

      Anything but Burgundy

      I love the look of the Black, but Hard to keep clean.
      Same with White I guess, but White looks HOT.
      Silver (mine) still looks fantastic, and even when its dirty, still looks clean from a distance.
      The Blue is nice too, but rare.
      Ok, I like them ALL (except burgundy which I dont think suits the car at all)

      Really, I dont care too much of the colour, so long as I'm driving... 8)

      The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.
