(Vic)The pics don't do it justice! :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colours are too metallic and digital cameras and normal film camera just dont pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adam Ervacinovic Guests Posted 21/10/02 12:43 PM Share Posted 21/10/02 12:43 PM If you get the shot at the right angle, it looks good. But the ones Ford released weren't the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DZ. Guests Posted 21/10/02 11:39 PM Share Posted 21/10/02 11:39 PM It's probably a good idea if you have a look at a colour in person before choosing it. I have to admit that the Blueprint doesn't appeal to me too much - but I'm going for (or rather my wife is) an elegant rather than stand outish look.

That would have been my choice, but the missus chose Blueprint. We already own a Silver car! (like that matters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DZ. Guests Posted 22/10/02 12:51 AM Share Posted 22/10/02 12:51 AM I would have gone Acid Rush but the 200SX is yellow so Mercury Silver it is! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what colour you paint em, the BA turbos are phenomenal cars :D and will be the envy of every Expensive Daewoo driver :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 21y 5m 15d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 04/11/02 12:18 PM Share Posted 04/11/02 12:18 PM RichDave,Couldn't have said it better myself, so I won't. Fords last campaign to fight Expensive Daewoo with a new killer Falcon has been a rolling success. The Blue oval still lives and will continue to do so. I loved the last addition of "Wheels". That pretty much said it all. The BA beat the VY in practically every category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been doing a bit more thinking about this and I'm considering Phantom at the moment. I need to see the car (actually, my wife needs to see the car) in the flesh so I can convince her. I wouldn't mind the exclusivity of the colour as the three BAs I've seen on the Coast were all Mercury Silver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was all set on the Blueprint, but the Phantom is growing on me. I'm lucky that the local dealer has one on the floor, but each time I go past they have it inside. I want to see it in full daylight before I make the final decision. The wife prefers Blueprint but gave the OK for Phantom if that's what I want. :D (she's seen it in the showroom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
