    19's What Colour??????

    I'm finding it incredibly difficult to find a colour I like for the 19's... I think they deserve to look that little bit special as they are so unusual.... I could do with your input guys as I am struggling to find anything I like.

    To give you an idea I like JT's in his Sig pic and also TC's old Silver V70 or 855 I cannot remember which model it was...

    The Body shop guy has literally thousands of colours to choose from in his books so if by some sheer stroke of luck you had a paint code aswell.

    To give you an idea I don't want anything to Dark... as you can see from the pic's below... Please feel free to put pic's of your own cars up to give me ideas...

    All suggestions will be great fully received either positive or negative!


    I prefer this brighter look.... but it's not Bright enough I want a more Silver/Metal colour



    Cannot get used to this Darker look and know I won't be happy unless it's Brighter....

    ohhh ya now they look good neal, if i had a saffy i would be having a gun metal like pete.

    just re- read your post, you want brighter? i would still go for a high, coarse metallic to give them some sparkle. your gonna want a silver that has quite a lot of transparant white in it, to brighten it up.

    Saffy's look good with the anthracite finish, gives the car a purposeful mean look. imho the silver looks too mainstream and normal...
