What colour looks best on the C7

Post by RIV » Sat Dec 26, 2015 12:19 am

I've been thinking about maybe putting my name down for the c7
After looking at lots of images I think black looks the best. I also love the voodoo blue, whats your thoughts?

Panther black for me. If I wasn't dead set on black then it would be either nogaro or nardo or Daytona which look surprisingly good (all have to be black or carbon packs for me though).

I think Sepang and black optics looks great. I'm considering changing to a PE and this would be the colour combo I would go for. My current C7 is in Daytona Grey which still looks great, especially in the sunshine! If it wasn't a daily driver I would be tempted to go for Java Green with carbon pack and carbon mirrors as I personally think it looks awesome, lots of people will disagree though!!!!

Glut with Swarovski.

The problem with black on anything is it instantly looks dirty and shows every fecking swirl the moment they appear whether you've applied 27 layers of Mrs Miggins super ceramic coating or not.

Blue or red or grey for a more understated look. The road is full of black, white and grey.....

The road is full of black and grey RS6s cos they look great. However, not many have the black / carbon optics, especially in black where there is no black optic choice only alu or carbon (and Titan now but dreading this choice and wish they allowed me to change to carbon).

That's one view, the other is that it all blends into obscurity and is dull.

Red or blue FTW.
