Best color for C4S? C2 with aerokit?

Those of you who have seen my other posts may have picked up on the fact that I'm in the process of deciding between a C2 with aerokit and a C4S (without aerokit). Although I know this is of course hugely subjective, I would appreciate opinions on:

1. What are the best looking colors for the C4S?; and

2. Which looks better - a C2 with aerokit or a C4S without aerokit (they are almost exactly the same price)?

I need opinions because I haven't had the chance to see many of these in person. Thanks in advance!

Narrow or Widebody

Abetaque-

C4S vs C2 w/ aero -- What you really need to decide first is if you like the look of a widebody (C4S), or narrowbody (C2) best. Then from there move to picking out your preferred color...

In regards to the color, it's a tough call since everybody has their own favorite color, and some colors look 'better' when you customize some of the interior pieces to match -- i.e. use matching body color on the rear/center console, or artic silver trim pieces, or yellow deviated stiching on the seats if the car is speed yellow, etc.

My personal exterior color favorites:
Black*
Seal Grey
Artic Silver

*(I have to say black since I own a black cab)

Good luck, but I think that we will all agree in saying that there is no bad choice, you really can't go wrong with either one you choose!

Tim

Just got my C4S cab in Lapis with grey interior and blue top. I wasnt sure about the color before I received it but it is gorgeous. Actually changes color with variations in light.

Darren's pic a real car from Porsche's website. Go to the UK site and find the Exclusive page. It's one of the "sport" versions.

color? Can't go wrong w/ speed yellow w/ matching interior trims.
c2 w/ aero kit vs c4. I would have to go w/ C4.
That wide body ( big butt) looks very good.

You need to decide if you want a RWD or an AWD too....They behave very differently!!

Very personal choices re: widebody, AWD, etc.

but as to color I absolutely love my midnight blue C4S with GG interior and metro blue deviating carpet.

Lots of great choices out there. Good luck.
