Colour choices!

[dirtyclevo]

do you like this colour?

I was looking at a car today like this for sale. the colour has sort of grown on me

and its different.

opinions please. im considering it but not sure what people would think.



i like petroleum aswell



or white



or kinetic

[OLD BALDY]

No, but colour is a personel choice, go for it if you like it. Good luck

[Mr Hardware]

Breeze Green? That's one of the best colours any Falcon has ever been made in.
I love it and I want one.

[Grippy]

Buy the one YOU like, it's going to be YOUR car. I personally have never been into Breeze as a colour, my choice would be Petrolium or White.

[dirtyclevo]

its called swift,

i know im the one buying it, but want to know if people would say its a girls colour, or it looks weak ... i dunno.

mainstream is boring, roads full of white, grey and black cars

[Sioso]

I don't car for it on a Falcon, may suit another vehicle though.
I do like petroleum especially on the F6 and GT.
Also like Octane on the GT not sure if that is an option on F6.
Kinetic suits it well also.

[Glen 5150]

I quite like it, but i'd go the white one. In my opinion a white F6 is the best looking of any current FPV model colour combination. Some people say white is boring, I say its practical, cooler in summer, easier to keep clean, safer visibility on the road, easier to match paint, and white never goes out of fashion when it comes time to sell it.

Good luck

[Cuyper]

That sea green looks the best of the pictures to me, if you have big balls you can drive a candy pink Falcon if you want. No one is going to judge you on colour.

I'd go for that petroleum too. Never buy a white falcon, they turn brown almost overnight. At least in Victoria/Tasmania.

Proven numerous times that the colour difference in a car actually makes very little (probably unnoticeable to most people) difference to the cabin temperature on a hot day

Compared to what? I've had white cars, dark coloured cars and cars in between. In my experience, white doesn't show up dust much, but shows dirt very easily. Black, or dark colours, show both. The best colour I have found in all the years I've driven and owned cars was the Kashmir colour I had on my G6 and currently on the Tezza. Hides both dust and dirt (grime) very well.

Not sure about that one, either. Certainly white cars contrast well to the darker coloured roads, but in among other traffic or in heat haze, in my experience they can have a tendency to blend in.

Certainly more whites out than than most other colours, but I'm not sure it would be easier to match this particular colour than any other?

That is certainly true. And the white F6s look pretty bloody good.

For me tho, I would go with the Kinetic. Great looking colour and something that is a little different to the norm. Mind you, if resale value is your prime concern, then a stand-out colour like that is probably not the best choice.

As said before, go with what you like, not what others like.

Yep. Greyscale cars are popular, and I don't know why, I always like coloured cars.
I've had Yellow, then Red, and Blue, I hope my next one is green.

Swift Green hey? I can't tell the difference between it and the BF/early FG Breeze Green. Awesome colour, they look super impressive on the road.

Girly? Hell no. Even the purple falcons still look tough as, because, they're Falcons!

[dirtyclevo]

FPV FG MKII F6 in swift



FPV BF MKII GT-P in Ocean Breeze




very similar colour! , but swift has silver pearl in it. (well my brother thinks so anyway. )

[dirtyclevo]

Comes on a Aston Martin! , think the falcon looks just as good.

[Blue Roo]

Go Kinetic Blue!

[Pepscobra]

Maybe it's just me that thinks so, but I reckon the FG FPV's look the best in white.
I think it's the dark coloured accents (raccoon eyes, dark wheels, stripes) that contrast the best with white.
Call me boring, but white for me every time time on an FG FPV.

[b2428]

I personally would give everything to have that green . over it. Remember seeing a fg xr8 in goulburn that was a similar color and loved it

That F6 doesnt look like Swift, its more like Breeze,

My XR6 is Swift, Great colour, looks completely different in direct sunlight.

[GT014]

F6's look best in white, although kinetic is right up there.

Petroleum is nice but the details are lost like the panda eyes and dark rims. As for swift, umm no, worst colour ever (other than purple) in the FG.

That's my opinion

[blackf6]

Swift changes color in different lighting. I personally like green cars. I like swift when the light conditions are low.

[Mr Brooksy]

Its your choice, choose what makes you get up in the morning just to look at the car. But since your asking opinions...

Dislike immensely. Too dull for my taste. Kinetic, or Octane. I like a colour that wants to smack every person walking down the street with a lump of 4x2 and scream hey check me out!

[Feathers]

Swift or Kinetic would be my shortlist.
But I liked Breeze as well.

[turbodewd]

I just wish u could get the flash colors on the G series...AND wish u could get cashmere leather on the XRs. I hate how I cant get this!!!

Look at BMW or any other manufacturer u can get more choice.

[dirtyclevo]

xr8 interior or for that matter gt or f6 interior would look great in cashmere or a tan colour.

they should have thought of that. i reckon a large majority of people that bought fpv's would have choose a cashmere or tan sports interior if it was an option. great contrast.

anyhow. how does the leather interior hold up. i've seen some leather interiors from mk 1 Fg's and they have really gone to the dogs.

they start to crease and wrinkle everywhere. and warp. or is this just because the owners are fat *****. or should i go fabric.

[AndyXR6T]

Got my vote for swift or kinetic blue.

In your first thread I thought it was breeze but swift is definitely darker with a mild gold tinge about it. Breeze is more green with a slight blue

Here's my xr6t in breeze

I would never buy a car with a cloth interior again.

Add to that every time I get out of a car with a cloth trim I bloody zap myself closing the door from all the static. Can't stand that. My BFII XT was the worst I'd ever had for it.

I love the green! Theres one here in Adelaide in the same colour on a 335 GT (with black stripes), its probably one of the best and unique colours for it! Never seen one in it before!

[hayseed]

What colour is Cav's Ute..??

goes to show how lacking the colour palate is today as wel barring exceptions...it was waning anyway by FGX there was no more Bright colours to pic from barring Victory Gold and to a degree the mild looking Aero Blue.
