Guys,

I know it's very subjective but still trying to decide colour combinations for GT with black wheels. But I value your opinions and just like your feedback on the following if poss and which you think will look best:

Race Red with black roof
Race Red with black stripes
Magnetic with black stripes
Oxford White with black roof

Thanks

And that's yours ;)!


the colour depends on you, i thought i'd hate race red, turns out i actually effing love it. I still think there's too much red on the car, and would like to incorporate more black, but I don't want to wrap the roof or wing mirrors... And i'm not putting any stripes on, so suck in a rock and a hard place!

Red draws a lot of attention, and I mean a fooking lot.

If you're going stripes, get them done after market, it's cheaper regardless.

I'd say, just because I like the style:

magnetic, black alloys, matte black rocker stripes and matte black gt350 stripes down the middle, they'll be feint but super cool at the same time. Interior, go black.


But Unbias, race red, plain ;)

Ahh subtle but aggressive, that'll be magnetic then ;)

I would go for stripes over black roof but both look good, can always add silver/red pin stripes on the stripes to make it stabd out a bit more...

I must say that magnetic is a very subtle/low key colour. Its the look i wanted and im very pleased with it BUT a small part of me is a bit gutted i didnt go for a more vibrant colour, its a car with a lot of passion and presence and the brighter colours suit so well (race red being my fave).

Funnily enough, i pulled up at a set of traffic light tonight. Grey bmw, grey audi in front of me, silver 4x4 pulled up next to me, then another black car pulled up behind me...was sat in my black fiesta thinking "damn, kinda wish i was in a bright red Mustang here.

You will be happy with whatever colour though, all look fantastic :)

I'm with Kristian on this, but to be honest, i've been trying to get Kristian and Gibbo to drop GT350 matte black stripes over their Magnetic's!!! I wouldn't do stripes AND a black roof, it's one or the other in my books!

Yeah, i just sit at traffic lights between all these dull-middle-management-diesel-hybrid-slow-wagons in a bright red mustang with all eyes on me ;). Sticks out like a sore thumb, as if a mustang needed any help with that!!!

(All colours look nuts, trust me, i've seen them all in sun and rain!)

For the subtle look, yes magnetic is very good, pity guard was dropped, it was a good colour too. Don't overlook ingot silver as it is a very good car colour as well.

Yes, good point on Ingot. Magnetic is strange in that if the sun isn't on it, it can look very very dark.

I always promised myself that when buying a new car, that I'd choose a loud colour. Like a bright Red or Yellow. Aberdeen is awash with black, silver, white and grey cars. In my history, I've had black, silver, white and grey cars. It just gets sooo boring.

So what I have ordered. Yep. Magnetic. Mainly based on having a Mag 'vert in Canada from Budget (that's the headlight off it in my profile pic), just thought it really suited the lines of the car. Difficulty with a long waiting list is trying not to email the dealer with specification changes!

We had a Magnetic Kuga, which meant I didn't even look at the colour option for the Mustang, but from what I've seen of those that have received them they do look mean and suit the car very well.

I was originally looking at Triple Yellow or Comp Orange, until Grabber Blie came an option. I knew I wanted something different from the usual.

What you want, to stay ahead of the pack is a Ruby Red, adding a Super Snake Stripe, contrasting ceramic leather, drop it an inch or so, get the geometry set up correctly after widening the stance an inch or two and there you have it, subtle, aggressive and class ;)








Oh, that might resemble my car :lol:

I have Ruby Red with the custom pack on my convertible (i.e. black roof). With hindsight I wish I hadn't got the nickel wheels as the black wheels seem to go very well with ruby.... and I would have saved £200!

I still find race red a little on the orange side for my tastes...

If you're going by my pictures, blame my camera it's actually very very red, like bright f00king red. Not sure how else I could describe it other than really red. Nt a deep red like ruby, but a bright in your face red... Blah, I digress, there's a couple of race red owners in Southampton IIRC ;)! It's not Orange at all.

Could always spray your wheels black ;)!
