puffnstuff Member 287 Member For: 22y 6m 8d Posted 11/11/02 04:07 AM Share Posted 11/11/02 04:07 AM I chose Silhouette for my car because it will match my shades B) . I'd also like the local SS community to start muttering over their pints down at the pub 'you seen that black ford turbo getting around? looks sweet, bloody quick too !!!'The Turbo I test drove was the acid rush. I liked it as a colour. Looks great in the bright sun, however I have a view that it will look Mustardish on a heavily overcast day. It has quite a bit of metallic in it.

The SS colour is a mustard colour irrespective of the light that it's in - I think the Acid Rush is a more of a yellow in the sunlight going to a yellow/orange tinge in the shade - but then again, I haven't seen it in the flesh.

My dad (who works for Ford) has told me it looks more of a goldy greenish colour. And yes under the sunlight looks fantastic. He still thinks its the best colour available :D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/120-xr6-turbo-in-the-flesh/page/2/#findComment-1080 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the XR6T of course). Am Happy the black looks like that... 3 days and counting!!!!!
