RED or Cool Silver VRX??

Postby Stealthmatt » Sat Jul 20, 2013 8:45 pm

Hello all,

I have a choice of cool silver or red for my 2013 VRX.

Initially I went with cool silver, but upon driving home i realized that every second car is silver... not alot of reds...

Then when I looked at reds maybe its too bold colour and more a female colour than silver.

What are peoples thoughts? (I am 27 year old male)

I really don't like either which is why its making my descion harder... but I have to choose one as I am in contract stage with an offer too good to refuse.

What are people sthoughts????

It is totally up to you, I have a cool silver VRX and love it however as you said there are alot of grey / silver cars around nowdays!

One good thing is that silver hides the dirt well at times! :D

see I don't see how red will make you look feminine????? Ferraris are red and they don't look chick like ????? Tommie makenin Evo was red and the still looked bad ass ???? I'd have red over silver anyway sorry to sliver car owners but the just as bad as white everyone damn well has them !!!! Question is do u want to fit in or do u want to stand out ???? I would not be worrying about if it's gay or not it's not like ur buying micra

If you like the colour red over silver then go for it, don't worry about what others think, it is totally up to you and depends on what your prefer! :)

mmm that does look clean and smick!

yeah I think I made the right choice to swap from silver to red..... silver very bland and every second car is silver....

I think I just need to change the stock rims to a black/or chrome and then it will change the whole looks for the best.

Too bad mine isnt ralliart and its just a boring VRX :(

I would love blue or titanium or White Or even black

But the choice is either cool silver, warm silver or metalic red

I understand you're young, but if you go thru life worrying aboput whether something makes you look gay, your're in for a long hard life. And don't go to the Mardi Gras
