Ordering V12S Manual-- Colors?

Hey everyone! I am lucky enough to get an allocation for a manual V12S... there is a sport plus pack that adds some nice wheels and cosmetic options but I am torn between speedway white with orange accents and alloro green with yellow accents. The green speaks to me more as a classic British racing color but the white reminds me of the vantage GT12. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Bill

Hey Bill - congrats on your upcoming car! That's going to be amazing! I personally love how clean the white/orange looks, but it really is a matter of personal preference. What I usually do is get a picture of each and position them next to each other, then see which you're drawn to more. You may catch yourself going back to one more often than the other.

Can you post pics of each to show exactly what each color combo looks like? How the accents are done can play a big role in choosing.

Congrats on the new car. I am in the process of ordering a roadster. As to your color question I would want to be sure about what you want for the stripes. Stripe colors are something that may look good new and then you grow tired of them. Be sure and compare photos as Telum said. Seeing one in person would be even better. Just my thoughts.

Oh boy, that is a hard question. These are real first world problems. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. You are one lucky guy!

Congrats!
The China Grey/Yellow or Alloro Green/Yellow look fantastic, but the Speedway White/Orange is just perfect.

I have alloro green... But in an ideal world I'd choose China grey!

Congrats on the order! Who cares what we think? Get the colour YOU want.

But since you're asking, I vote for green.
