Re: What's the best colour 480
its objective i spose, I've owned green, white, two tone, red, and black.. all looked ok when cleaned and polished, white was my least favourite, and I do like the red of my current 89 turbo. any colour as long as its not rust.

Re: What's the best colour 480
I saw a fantastic green GT in Amsterdam with turbo wheels - looked the business.
was either the racing 321 or vase 314 option - prob the best i've seen in the flesh
I'd probably go for black or the pearlised blue - i'm not sure if its the artic blue or lavender grey colour.
says the man with smoke silver!
Have to say i think the 2tone is my least fav.
Just seen a black 89 car for sale in London - great condition very little rust - but still a fair few quirks to sort.

Yes! Liking that. Seen a similar Orange creation - very custom...
Not sure I can afford a full respray - any idea on options/costs?

Re: What's the best colour 480
I love yellow but not a 480. Black is no color.
Red is okay but of course I have a prejudice. I also like green.

Re: What's the best colour 480
Personally, I think they got it right right at the end of production with the red Celebration and GT.
It just suits the lines of the 480 so well, but then I am biased.
Very closely followed by Vase Green and the sort of charcoal grey.
I did toy with doing a 480 in either Saffron Pearl or Laser Blue from the S/V70R.
Think that would look pretty epic myself!

Hammers can't fix a 480!!!

Re: What's the best colour 480
In general I like the GT green but on a 480 I've always liked White and the two tone. Maybe I'm in the minority judging by the above

Red
but only cos I've had two, in both cases 'price was right'
although the Maroon does look nice

Re: What's the best colour 480
Dark Grey Metallic....Storm Grey....because that's the colour of mine and I've always loved the colour on 480's.
I have to say though, I'm not a fan of white cars, but a 480 turbo sparkly clean and tidy looks just gorgeous....for example, Persil (Dan the Man) and The Charger (Catgroom) from many moons ago.
