just chosen the colour for my 240

[mark240z]

been thinking for a colour for a while now for the z as its nearly time for the paint to go on and have finaly gone for froozen white used on the new rs focus, also going to run carbon fiber bumbers and arches just wondered what you guys think of it?

 

[SeanDezart]

Yuk.
Off white (old English) is better.

 

[SeanDezart]

Only joking - do you have a picture of a Focus with some black trim to show ?

 

[mark240z]

ha, cant say i do i just thought the white and black would go well together. i got a pic of a focus but dont know how to insert it in to the thread??

If you use the "Go Advanced" button beneath the quick reply editor, you can attach the file.

 

[mark240z]

sussed it

 

[Mr HollowPoint]

Quite a nice colour really for white. I'm not a fan of white myself after having a white Mitsubishi VR4 and a white Ford Falcon in NZ, impossible to keep clean!

 

[SeanDezart]

Depends of course on the choice of wheels.

I've seen a focus in that white with the carbon trim and I have to say it looks fantastic on the focus, So hopefully it will suit your 240 as well, The only trouble with white is keeping the bloody thing clean plus you need s pair of sunglasses to wash the f*cker on the sunny days otherwise you end up snow blind lol.

Are you sure you want white with winter coming?
A friend had a white Esprit, we came out the hotel one morning, and couldn't find the bleedin' thing, snow fall of about 2 ft. Having said that, the best bit was watching him clear the car (when found) in his wifes high heel boots - he said it gave him more grip

Personal opinion, the Z has chrome, and white would not show it off as much as a dark colour, but hey its all down to personal choice.

Zeds look better in a light colour as it shows off the lines better

 

[SeanDezart]

Agreed.......and the chrome/stainless steel DOES stand out, especially with a black interior.

get a pic up of your Z and ask jako to photo shop it for you so you can see it in the colour. he did it for my so i could see my car with black and orange bonnet

There's a chap called CHarlie who has his 240Z in a very similar white with black or very very dark grey rims and a black front valence. It looks awesome. Good choice I reckon.

 

[mark240z]

thanks for your input just forked out £350 for the paint so no going back now, im going to get all the chrome on the car done in black and go for some deep and wide as you like rims but not to shure which 1's to go for, ive been looking at some rota rb's / Watanabe R-Type or even some ssr longchamps, but im only a boy with hardly any money so will probily be another year till shes back on the road after 23 years!

 

[SeanDezart]

He's called Charles and he was at LM Classic in 2010 - VERY nice 240Z !

save a bit longer and go for the carbon fibre bumpers and carbon fibre mirrors,i think it will stand out and it will be a bit different,
