Ah no fair; the black one's got proper orange indicators (& the correct number of doors) so it's hardly a fair contest.

Hardly a fair comparison.. The pic quality difference, location, lighting EVERYTHING go in favour of the black one there

Put the blue in the same conditions n bingo.. We have a winner

The black one also has MINT wheels, which makes a car look 10 times better. The blue ones look good still but the picture makes them look dirty.

Also what ziggy said.


Blue.

Ive voted Alpina blue as its a much nicer colour and for some strange reason i thought your car was Blue to start with :mad:

As the car was Black to start with though, Id personally stay with that and keep it original.

I'll go and vote again for black to even it up.

I still think that the Blue is a much nicer colour though. 8)

it's been said everything must stay original..... so black with silver strips.... what were the original tyres??? some old crap 1980's compound I suspect that won't grip the road like new ones, don't forget the driver you've gotta grow a mullet and wear shellsuits at the weekend.

Sorry Dave, as a person who paid hard earned cash for a scorpion 'zaust and a resident of essex you are not expected to appreciate style,decorum and good taste. But since we like you and your stickers we will continue to tolerate you ! :)

Haha, Yup it's a fair cop.

I'm the last person to be preaching on style, Scrap-iron exhaust & council rims on a "sport replica". It doesn't get more girotastic than deepest darkest Essex. :D
