Opinions?

This color

With a euro style stripe in the ultra flat color match to the calipers.


Here is an example of the stripe I want to do. The style only, but flat Purple matching the calipers.



What do you think?

I think it would be unconventional and work with satin graphite grey rims and the purple calipers.

Thinking of doing the Corsa kit with black tips to tie it all in.

I like the grey.....subdued but shiny.

I like the grey and the flat purple calipers, but not feeling the stripe.

No stripe.

I like the grey, especially with the black trim and wheels, and the red calipers, in the photo you posted.
When I was a kid just getting into cars in the late 60's and early 70's, "GT" stripes were all the rage. Just about anything with four wheels and a young owner got stripes. I'm biased against a stripe like that simply because of my early experience.
Where I live a car with purple calipers would immediately cause people to profile and assume the ethnicity of the driver. Not in a good way.
Red, black, maybe yellow, would not. Purple would.
But you have to do what you want to do - my comments are just my opinions and experiences from my past.

I presently live in Dubai, so Im not too worried about racial profiling of my ride.

Nor would I be concerned anyway. I just think it would be different, and pretty nifty. I will do the stripe in vinyl so if I hate it later its just a peel off deal.

Rims will be graphite grey. Purple calipers are a must.

put stripe on passenger side to make it a bit different.

:helpless: Sounds like where you live people make some really stupid assumptions.

More like they are judgmental and intolerant, and I've been on the receiving end of those in the past. Which is why I'm glad to have a black CTS-V and be stealthy again.
