Thanks 56Mainline and Welcome aboard :D I have my XR6T in Acid Rush with the Leather interior. It tends to keep fairly clean but does get dusty and you do notice it, not as much though as on a Phantom car. I have to admit Phantom does look awesome saw one in my dealership's showroom about to be delivered to a customer just a standard N/A but it was very nice.. But then again that colour is very hard to keep clean. My last car was a similar colour and you would notice the dust and dirt on it as soon as you washed it and drove it, the bad thing was in order for it to look its best at all times it had to be clean. Hopefully with the Acid Rush colour I wont have that same problem.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I hadn't seen phantom in the flesh I didn't want to risk it. I have seen it up close now and it looks great. Not going to change my order as it may push my car back even further.

I have a AUII in Venum that looks great. There is something about the BA in Venum that looks funny.. Not sure what it is. The biggest problem with the AUII in Venum is that it has a white undercoat. So the stone chips shine through... I am opting for Congo green this time. I expect it to be hard to keep clean like Phantom and black but not as bad (I hope). Has anyone seen a congo green one at all. THere are a few XT, Futura's around but I have not seen a XR anywhere. ... The wife likes the green as it is not so "look at me" as the Venum. My deal was.. I choose the car (XR6T of course) she chooses the colour. Let me know if anyone has seen a congo green one at a dealer so I can go and have a look. Have seen one on the freeway (going the other way) this morning. Looks nice. In the future may be a rarer car as not as popular... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SA Tickford Guests Posted 13/12/02 12:38 PM Share Posted 13/12/02 12:38 PM Well I got mine yesterday and it is Congo Green, havent got any photos yet sorry. My last 2 XR's have been dark blue but seeing as Blue Pearl isnt available on the XR's I went for something different. Now that I have it I am rapt with the colour and I also think there wont be to many around in the green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it too much red? The venom looks great. The standard interior suits the car and IMO not too loud. Not sure where you are but Strapp in Burwood have one on the shelf.Oh one other subtle thing to consider the Veonm Turbo has a BLACK turbo badge for obvious reasons but it made the venom unique.Go the Venom I say. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SA Tickford Guests Posted 15/12/02 10:04 AM Share Posted 15/12/02 10:04 AM I will get my daughter to take some in the next couple of days, she has a digital camera on layby as part of her christmas present and is trying to bribe me to get it early using the excuse that she will take pics of my car. As soon as she gets them developed I will post them. On a seperate note I got the windows tinted today and it makes the green look darker, plus I have replaced the standard rims with chrome mags.
