What colour combo for a Roadster?

[Guest]

for me its got to be the standard Bluewave Roadster colours of Star Blue with Silver Tridion. :car:

[Guest]

Ive Just purchase a Blue and Black Combo and it looks absolutly fantastic!!!

MUST be black & black - a classic - if I ever see it again :sad:

I'm with Black and Black.
don't own a roady but I do think that all black cars have that 'mean' stance to them whilst remaining very classy.
agreed though... they are an absolute bu99er to keep clean!
(yes I do have a black/black cab for2!)

I agree with the cleaning, it's almost a daily thing getting out and wiping the mud from off the sides of my black Roadster ...thing is, I don't go over any mud at any point during the day, must be some kind of magical mud fairy or something.

I've always noticed that some cars suit some colours - red looks great on a porsche, ferrari.- black looks Ok on them, but...
I think the original concept of the smart with contrasting tridion and panels was quite bold and interesting, but I have to admit I've gone for black/ black and still like it. The yellows Ive seen seem slightly 'lime-ish', wheras it should have been a bright, lotus yellow, I think
I bet we'll start seeing much more emphasis on metallic colours soon

Colour?

My coupe is RED & SILVER with the glossy hardtop. My other car, C3, is all black and needs a frequent clean as it shows-up dirt very easily. The RED & SILVER seems to look good for a lot longer and just looks like a FUN combination for, what is, a great FUN CAR!

i have a blue/silver tridon passion cab at the mo which looks cool but i have a roadstar coming in july with black/silver tridon. i think that having the contrasting colours gives it more smartness.

Yellow and Black on the roadie for me..... :smile:

[Northern Roadster]

Red & Black, not as classy as some others, when I bought it there was limited stock (yeah like that was true!) so I just said not Champagne or Yellow.

Thought red was a tad boring but there are now 4 red ones round my area. Like to think I had something to do with that.

Silver / Silver for me. It was either that or Black/Black, the only options available for the BRC. Whilst I'd have liked the Black/Black and agree that it looks the best, from a practicle p.o.v. I went Silver. I do too many miles in it and Black gets dirty (and shows it) way too quickly. (Does that make me boringly conservative?)


(BTW, isn't this a v.old thread)

Chris, just out of interest, are the plastic bumper bits colour coded on the Brabus or just the same grey as a normal roadster with a silver tridion?

The same grey, unfortunately. I would have preferred them to have been colour keyed but was not to be. I suppose it may help protect against stone chips though, and the front does have the smartie-smile :smile: . The back end would look a lot better all silver. It's another reason the black option looks better, the plastic merges in.

I agree, that's why I prefer the black Tridion in general on the roadie, I'd have liked all black if I'd had a choice but I'm not good at keeping her clean so It's probably best they didn't have any at the time.

At least she got a decent wash when they tested her for leaks a copule of weeks ago

Re: What colour combo for a Roadster?

Mine is black/black but beware, in summer the dust is terrible even if it hasn't been driven since a wash and in winter, well don't get me started on the salt they put down. Never had any fly's splattered on it though, other then the reg plate.
