as with any car i own i always make it a little different than the rest. not necessarily to stand out of the crowd abruptly, but just enough subdelty to do a double take.. anyway. i want to color trim my R53 and just wondered what opinions people had on color schemes. currently its pure silver with a black top... i am leaning towards blood red accents but would like to see or read some of what you gusy and gals think and have seen that caught your attention or thought, "hey that looks kinda neat"...

 

I'm dealing with the same thing. Trying to figure out what route I want to go with my pure silver. Seems most go with red accents. Have to come up with something different

 

I saw yellow and it didn't look too bad. But to blend a color with silver and black is tougher than I thought.

 

Vinyl accents are cheap & not permanent, JIC you change your mind later . . .

 

Why build what "someone" else thinks you need ?
Use "your" imagination. Come up with "your" idea for your car. You have to drive it, you have to look at it, you have to wash it.
I find that just as I wake up in the morning...or sitting on the toilet provides my best thoughts.

thanks for the input Mike. I'm merely only looking for inspiration not plagiarism.

 

You can grab a couple rolls of colored masking tap and apply it over your trim to get a better idea of how it would look with painted trim.

A great relatively inexpensive way to get a real life look at a possible color change. Another way is to use a software package like Paint Shop Pro and do an image with possible color changes for a visualization.

Motor On!
