Leon B Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 I cant decide what colour to go for, narrowed it down to: Black Post office red Bright blue (has anyone seen this?) Maybe orange... with antracite wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterrosey Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Go for a bright colour so you can be seen (much as I loved Westfields black demo Megabusa, I ordered one in yellow) as they're so low down you often get missed by other road users. Also be aware - by their own admission - that red fades at a faster rate than other colours. It's something to do with the pigment I believe - cue a paint expert - and affects most red cars. If the bright blue you refer to is the turquoise blue then it looks really good on a Westie - as does the orange. I nearly ordered the orange myself but all my mates said it looked like 'traffic cone orange'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon B Posted June 5, 2002 Author Share Posted June 5, 2002 In the westy brochure they just say bright blue but i think its the same as the audi s4's?? So now down to either birght blue or orange?? My mates got a yellow one so i got to be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren smith Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 i've just finished a bright blue car (with all black trim), it was either this or black, but the car looks superb and everybody who's seen it comments on how nice the colour is. i'm now glad i didn't go for black. warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Helsby Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Orange looks really good with black or carbon nose cone, rear arches and cycle wings.........in my opinion mines yellow but if I was building another that's the colour for me, now there's a thought, i'm sure I can manage without a new kitchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
