If we're talking grey, then I think the BMW Frozen Grey is stunning. However it's a very specialist finish, probably the closest you could get, at least for now, would be by way of a wrap.

I think it would really highlight the rear arches and lines of the GTA though just by creating false shadows as it seems to do on the M3.

Have you ever seen "Fords" Raven black?? They did a special in the late 80's of an Orion 1600E in this colour.. its back metalic but has a purple'ish look in the sun... I have never seen it on any other car since.. But I agree the Jag marocco red is again a beautiful colour..
Dark colours are a pain to keep clean, but it shows your commitment to the car, when it is clean.. and they reflect so well...

I did put it in speach marks as a warning when I said it... but the colour is not exclusive to them... I am sure we all at some time have crossed paths with one!!

I'm more offended by the thought of an Orion 1600E :lol:

I drove one once. Worst car ever. Ok it was pretty tired and ropey but the gearbox was next to useless, it wouldn't start unless you hit the starter with a hammer, the brake pedal almost went to the floor and within eight miles the oil light had come on where it needed a top-up. The only car I've ever driven that genuinely scared me.... but not in a good way. :evil:

I only drove the damn thing as a favour to a friend.

Hi Tony,
The Jag Moroccan red does look V nice.

Shaun gets a lot of stick over his lunar grey (a.k.a. primer) Clio V6, even though it does look good. Not sure it would suit a GTA though.

Is that frozen grey a satin finish?

The Nissan Z350 can in rather a nice 'burnt orange' metalic that I think would look rather good on a GTA.

Pearl Black and Learl blue look interesting on here;

Anyone here good with Photoshop so we can see some different colours?[

If you are I need you to have a quiet word with "Christine" my posessed GTA Atmo .....I thought she was cured but I now know differently. :shock: :twisted: :roll:

I agree I'm not sure I can imagine a GTA in grey at all :?:

Matt black for the Rat Boys

As long as it is Orange and not that bronzy baby poo colour :?: :lol: :lol:

Yes the frozen grey is a matt / satin finish. (Don't wax it whatever you do)

If you want white satin though I can do vinyl silk with my roller. :lol:
