Funnily enough I have always found the lighter colours to enhance the GTVs line (and I think they really work in white).
Just differing opinions I suppose.... Don't get me wrong... on the right car dark colours scream cool  - the 65-68 fastback mustangs are a prime example of a car that looks sweet in dark grey and black.
Hence why I'm interetsed to see how this project pans out..... when I first bought my Alfa I was going to do a colour change from Giallo ochre to black or grey.... my old man convinced me out of doing so. Whilst I'm very glad he did... FMD's car is taking a path I chose not to travel. |
I agree, but here is another angle of the same car. Do you think a white car would give the same definition? In the end, you are absolutely right--a matter of personal preferences. But an interesting difference in perceptions none the less.
