This thread is evidence of the extraordinarily strange behaviour that HgAg owners are prone to. Best stick with other colours to avoid being susceptible to such behaviour.

puffnstuff Member 287 Member For: 22y 14d Posted 06/02/04 06:53 AM Share Posted 06/02/04 06:53 AM How could I have missed this tread ?? Oh, I know waaay to busy fighting goons in silver noddy cars (smirk).welcome Adam, as the instigator of Team Silhouette I full condone your choice. Sure Washings a chore (NOT) but the weekly ritual does help center oneself.I'm on my third bottle of Gold Wash and would use nothing else. See my sig for the amount of Murray tipped over the flanks of Misty.cheers and keep in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meyek3 Member 20 Member For: 21y 3m 15d Location: Adelaide Posted 06/02/04 08:41 PM Share Posted 06/02/04 08:41 PM To the guy questioning wether to get Silhouette Black or not, I say go for it, if you like the colour, it really is a striking, jazzy type of colour/shade, there are not a hell of a lot of black cars on the road, if you have a look in action movies that feature cars, they are quite often black, I say that the most expensive cars are usually black, but just DO NOT get your car dealer to apply paint protection coating if they offer it to you, my dealer obviously didnt wash the car thoroughly before applying the paint protection coating, and so now there are some permanent swirl marks in the paint...Get a professional like a auto window tinter who specialises in Paint protection aswell to apply the paint protection if you really insist on getting it.And about black cars getting dirtier then other cars, well the truth is they get no more dirtier then other coloured cars they just appear to be dirtier, but you don't exactly go out and buy a $45k+ car to not pay some attention to it and keep it clean now do you???I originally wanted the Narooma blue colour, but was told that Ford arent making xr's in that colour anymore so I opted for the new Offshore blue colour until I saw it in the flesh, and then made a rather quick phone call to my dealer to get my order changed to Silhouette, and let me tell you I have absolutely no Regrets about getting black in the end, I am actually quite glad I did, probably even rather Black over Narooma blue now...

But it's not an option on XR's so it's not an issue.zeke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 6m 20d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 07/02/04 12:13 AM Share Posted 07/02/04 12:13 AM Actually, I really like offshore - sorta reminds me of ocean waters on a sunny day. But it's not an option on XR's so it's not an issue.zeke I would have to wonder how meyek3 managed to order his XR in offshore then? Offshore looks like a blue they used on EF/EL's not sure what it was called then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 11d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 07/02/04 12:58 AM Share Posted 07/02/04 12:58 AM As long as you're careful, Silhouette rocks.Class, toughness, it has everything.Let the truth be known. I wish I chose Silhouette again. Phantom is not that much better in hiding those annoying accidental marks so what the hey, oh well.Don't worry Team Phantom, I'm still loyal but I was a black fan before Phantom. Will always be.As I've said. My DREAM car is a Silhouette GT with Silver stripes. Saw one at Bryan Byrt and man oh man. BEST car I have ever seen hands down. Well "best FORD anyway".
