michelin Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I'm pretty OCD when cleaning my cars and have always steered clear of black but the 981 looks so good in it! Why is it that this car look so different, somehow, in others colours or is it just me? Don't shoot me down :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topradio Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I will never have another black car, they look fine when newly cleaned but get dirty just sitting on the drive. I like the grey in the 981 and the blue but really there's only one colour to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_ Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I agree on the points about Black! I'd go silver... Quite rare for a 981 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the grey - but it's a sports car!! so red, blue or yellow makes it stand out. Oh, and gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart21UK Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I had a black 987 and loved it....IMHO black on a 981 doesn't show the lines so well (you kind of miss the vents as they are also black also) I wouldn't have one in black personally just for that reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul O Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Black is great, so moody and cool. But it's a pain to keep clean and stone chips looks utterly awful on black. It's a show colour, not a practical one. i like the 981 in white personally, it really suits the shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Joseph Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Guards Red, in my entirely biased opinion! ? Joking aside, metallic colours look more elegant, non-metallic colours more sporting? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin G Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Agate grey, but then I chose that and still love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBD914 v2 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Another vote for White from me! Equal first would be GT Silver though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbob2911 Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Unfortunately everyone has their own favourite colour and I don't think your going to get any final decision from us lot. suggest to your OPC you would like every colour lined up so you can decide which you prefer!! ? My favourite is the agate grey though the gold with red I have seen, i think a box a club member did catch my eye.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelin Posted October 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Thanks guys for the input. I do like the white and somehow it makes the car look a lot bigger. I'm nipping over to see one next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T24RES Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 I guess you've seen the White 981 for sale here on the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J & F Hux Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I think wheel colour just as important to get right. Ours is Rhodium Silver with 20" Carrera S wheels painted satin platinum. ie not silver with silver. keeps clean looking for longer than black (obviously) or white IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneil Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 I love my agate grey , however went for lunch on Sunday to the railway at Abergynolwyn near Tywyn and a lovely gleaming guards red 981 passed by. It did look stunning in the sunshine and it was clean❕ 1st job today.......give mine a much needed clean?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelin Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Wheel colour is a good point. Silver shows the brake dust too much so what's the next best alternative? is it Rhodium Silver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toocan Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 light coloured car (white or silver) with black wheels with silver rim - its a shame they dont do fuchs for the 981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
