72 Hotrod - my new project

[smytje]

I really like the Aubergine, but for something a bit more aggressive - not necessarily a daily drive..

Aside from Light Ivory (which has really grown on me - gives the car a great classic look; especially with the black and silver plates), I'd have a day-to-day runner in Slate Grey. Great colour for driving about town - doesn't shout 'look at me', a sort of understated class.. best combo for the yellow lights too! imho..

More Aubergine loveliness....

In slimmer (preferable?) times:

better / perfect with the RS arches ... so tempted to do that to my car

don't worry, won't happen to my S ... if I ever built a hot-rod then that would be the way it would go

Auberine is good, especially with the torq thrusts:

Auberine is good

And can, on occasion, appear quite black.

A colour that would show up everyday dirt though and needs to be clean and polished to look good

[Ralph]

That's not black is it ? Are my eyes playing up?

Probably my monitor, Ralph.

I can almost guarantee your eyesight is better than mine!

Not, you're right Ralph. And those wheel centres are painted Aubergine....

It's like zanzibar red - the sort of heinz 57 orange of the original 996 GT3 UK launch car - can look great in the sun all polished but looks butt ugly the rest of the time...

Hi, here are the pics I mentioned. This is our 72 we have literally just painted Dolphin grey.
