I don't think photos really do the colour justice. it looks a heap better in the metal!

NYOPA Team Blueprint Donating Members 312 Member For: 21y 5m 24d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 10/03/04 11:13 AM Share Posted 10/03/04 11:13 AM If you are spending the money to get a nice car.. why not get a nice colour too!Not something that comes in a MAzda, Nissan,Festiva,holden,Daewoo, etc etc etc.Our cars are unique, and highly wonderful, why not have a colour that says as much.And I aint refering to undercoat here either.Funny thing, on the 3000 service the mechanics scraped the front bumper near the fog light (drivers side) and guess what.... my car was once HgAg.. and someone painted over it with blue print......Lucky for me too........ much nicer colour.

yeec Member 99 Member For: 21y 3m 3d Location: Mt Waverley, VIC 3149 Posted 10/03/04 11:34 AM Share Posted 10/03/04 11:34 AM (edited) I loved the Blueprint, it is my favourite colour but chose HgAg instead as I wanted a colour that didn't bring me unwarranted attention but was also classy as well. Go Team HgAg !!Slightly off topic, but I seem to notice heaps and heaps of XR6's (non-turbo) on the roads but not than many XR6T's. I wonder why ? Is it because lots of them are company cars and the employer's don't let them get the Turbo ?? If not, then I can't see the point of getting the normal XR6 when it's exactly the same engine as the base XT. Does anyone have any other ideas ??

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 27d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 10/03/04 11:49 AM Author Share Posted 10/03/04 11:49 AM I am not saying any colour is better than another, I am just wondering why LS owners are sooo quiet on this list.I do know one thing is for certain is when it comes to resale the bright colours are not worth as much as the subttle ones.I do not need to advertise my car as being fast or unique by having a bright colour, I prefer the green flag dropping and the BS stopping. I was at the dealers today and saw a LS XR8 and it looked great. I didn't notice how dirty (dealer principals car) until I walked right up to it and then could only just see the dirt. I like a car that can go more than a week without a wash.I know we are all happy with our choices, I guess some are just more vocal than others about their colour choices.....I am going to be the LS defender for the Team LS Oh and by the way, If anyone knows a XT Lightning Strike owner that wants a XR6T boot and Wing let me know as I do not think my dealer will be able to do the swap as they do not have any LS XT's on the lot and are not planning any soon. My car will be all go and no show. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9568-lightning-strike/#findComment-99828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
