I am now 100% confident that i have chosen the right colour--- CARBON GREY--- rules. :wink:

SIMPLY THE BEST

It does look a beast. Been drooling over that video for weeks now. Awesome with the Brake callipers

Awesome! But I have to say, the big winner with the GTD are those wheels... I mean... they look amazing!!  :cool:

You're right the wheels do look awesome.. However i think it is those red calipers that set them off. Would the dealer do that or is that a special order?

I've looked in to this some few months ago. It's a sport and sound package...however only offered in Ireland and around Europe...just not here :( I am having this done for me at a cost of 45 a corner, not cheap so shelling out 180 for all 4. However if you are gifted you can do this yourself. Think a lad on here has done a damn good DIY job (want to say norbek I think is his username).

I have to agree. The rims and the calipers set that colour off. I'm thinking of having my calipers painted on my deep pearl black. Any idea on costs and what are ppls thoughts on black with red calipers.

I ordered red. I regret it now - the pure white looks awesome.

I'm sure they all look good in the flesh though.

That will look awesome. Similar to you, I have a DBP GTD with the 18s (personally prefer the 18s) and I think with the red callipers it will look stunning and just so god damn stealth with darker tints on the back windows. That's what I have planned anyway. 50 a calliper however shop around

Red looks lovely. Passed one in Edinburgh few weeks ago and looks cracking. Not many red cars on road so will be a head turner. White does look nice..but my god EVERYONE has ordered white. Stand out from the crowd ;)

1.  Carbon Grey
2.  Deep black pearl
3.  Night Blue
4.  Tornado Red
5.  White

My top 5

Why red is so low in my chart is because i live in Leeds and most people hate Man-utd therefore i could never buy a red car. :laugh:
