I had this dilemma over RR or LB on an earlier topic. Decided after all that RR is the best colour! :)

I think the colour range is fantastic, I spent so long on deciding on a colour and pondering over pictures, there are too few about to actually see.

In the end I stuck with my initial reaction and have TY on order, but I swayed over almost ever colour on the board first

Totally agree with this! I thought it would be loads easier to keep clean than black. Man I was wrong. I cleaned mine on Saturday and by Sunday it was dirty and I hadn't even driven it! :frusty:
DIB was my second choice, the Lighting does look good
As for Dirty, mine is pretty yucky at the moment, but as the Show season has finished and no more weddings, will give her a wash at the weekend
but as its a DD and out in all weathers, its impossible to keep clean. So not that fussed. still looks the business

I'm still looking forward to seeing Lightning Blue in the metal. The one downside, it really needs the sun to look its best..........and we all know how much of that we see :rolleyes:

Here it is under more usual "British" conditions :D

Having said that, all of the new Mustang colours come alive and "pop" in the sun. It'd just a pity we won't get to see them like that very often!!

it actually looks its best under cool white led lights tbh :) mine always looks better at night under the outside house lights than in the daylight its some kinda pearl colour it varies massively can look pastel at times other times bright strong blue (if you remember the common MG zs/zr/zt colour typhoon blue very similar to that) other times it can look quite dark blue.

to give you an idea of how it varies this is LB http://media.caranddriver.com/image...ews-car-and-driver-photo-654986-s-450x274.jpg
as is this

and if any of you saw the initial pictures on the ford.co.uk website for the colour it looks green almost. trick is to keep it clean and sparkly though for it to look its best mine hasn't been washed in 2 weeks now and it looks terrible.

if any of you want to see one in the flesh and are nearish doncaster you're welcome to pop down and visit :)

Another reason I went for white. Clean or dirty, it's "just" white, although obviously does look fantastic when it's spotless.

I knew if I'd gone for a colour that NEEDED to be spotless to get the full impact I would've been even more anal about cleaning it than I am with this one.

Picture 1, is not Lightning blue. that's ford's 'Liquid Blue' and isn't available on any car TMK.

But; would love to see it in the flesh, can you post some pics of yours?!

Hmm, yeah....me too. But then I had to have it coated, bought the Gtechniq maintenance kit, foam lances, extra buckets and mountains of microfibre. I see there's a polo shirt available now... ;)

Correct answer. :)
RR. But Race or Ruby...? ;)

Would be brilliant if I could get a look at it. I only ordered last Friday so don't think I will need to finalise my order anytime soon. I have asked them to contact me just before I need to make a final decision.
Sure thing. Feel free to pop along and have a look in their pound after it arrives. You dealing with Marc?

Allegedly being built this week. I changed my colour to GB 3 1/2 months after ordering, so you've got a bit of time (if the wait times remain as they are).
