What color S3 would you choose?

[TW]Fox · 19 Feb 2007 at 18:56

Silver. It'll always look that good, whereas blue will be all swirlmarked.

Definitely the blue.

And it's colour

Rich · 19 Feb 2007 at 19:25

Tis better to have looked good and lost those looks, than to have never looked good at all.

IMO silver is bit bland, and no matter how much you polish it it dosen't look particularly shiny. However it doesn't look filthy five minutes after you wash it though which is something of a consolation.

The blue looks nice, but think the dark gunmetal grey colour suits the S3 quite well.

I'd prefer black just to be boring but out of those two - Blue

Thats the thing. A well polished, immaculate blue or black prestige car always looks better than the equivilent silver one, unless its a Merc. But they don't stay well polished when you use them and begin to look very shabby, very quickly. Having the car just show up as a mass of swirls when the sun is out is just depressing.

IMHO, 'good' looking all the time > 'awesome' 20% of the time, 'average' 40% of the time and 'downright mess' 40% of the time

If the car isn't a daily driver and is just a weekend toy, get a black or blue one and enjoy it

The blue looks nice, but think the dark gunmetal grey colour suits the S3 quite well.

Gunmetal is fantastic IMHO one of my favourite colours. You get the advantages of silver but it also the advantages of shinier, darker colours.

Blue all the way.

Not a fan of silver, its practical but even after a good cleaning session it looks clean but not that liquid or glass finish you can get on other colours.

Swirl marks can almost always be shifted if you know the right people with the right kit.

Silver for me

Noni Juice · 19 Feb 2007 at 21:00

Silver, blue looks cheap/dirty.

Pepz · 19 Feb 2007 at 21:11

i prefer the blue

g60dubster · 19 Feb 2007 at 21:31

Neither, get a Noggy blue or red one instead.

My 1st choice would be a Nogaro blue one with the optional blue 1/2 alcantara recaro's :cool:
