bronzee Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Just popped into my local Nissan dealer, and they had a brand spanking new 370z roadster there. Only just arrived in on Thursday. Quite an unusual colour. At a distance sort of looks black, but isn't. It's a very dark reddy brown, much darker than Interlagos Fire, but not as much gold fleck. It's called Bordeaux. I don't know if the colour will be available in the UK as I gave up with the nissan.co.uk site as it was impossibly slow to load and cumbersome. Poor little 370z looked as though it had been washed with a brillo pad. So anyway, for those of you that are looking at a 370z, it's an unusual colour, would probably look good with oodles of wax to show the colour. You can check out on the NZ Nissan site. http://www.nissan.co.nz/passenger/370z/index.php Oh, and ps, noted on the UK site zippy little sill covers with an illuminated Z. Quote
alessandro Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 When I was in Italy I had a ford KA on that colour, on the web site the Bordeaux on the 370 looks good but I would have to see it on the flash..... You can get the illuminated sill plate from Z store USA Quote
lrh Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Called "Black Rose" here and only available on the roadster: Quote
AK350Z Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Same colour of the Roaster featured in this months EVO mag. Wondered where it came from! Quote
marzman Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 I like it. I was on a drift day last year and there was a brown cayman s... it was the most stunning colour... Quote
bronzee Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 Called "Black Rose" here and only available on the roadster: It's quite interesting how different countries seem to end up with different names, when they all come from the same factory. Black Rose isn't a bad name, sounds almost pirate'ish. Quote

captain Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 There you go. Pistonheads meet - Cheddar Gorge about 5 hours ago. Dealer demo reversed on to rocks and scraped all the bottom I heard. Do not buy this car if you see it in North Somerset for sale through Nissan! I hated the colour but others liked. PS - This also looked like it had been washed with Brillo pad and Fairy Liquid. Must be the Nissan dealer standard treatment worldwide. Quote
Maccaman Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Really like it. That GTR would look awesome in that colour Quote
IanS16 Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Wow I love that colour! Makes the car look a lot more classy Quote
Ebized Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Bet Stanski is drooling, but guess his and Lucy's daughter Anya means a campervan has to come first Quote
Nelly Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 They had one in that colour in my local showroom, very strange looks black from most angles Quote
Nelly Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Question...whats the red like chaps?? Not seen one in the flesh Quote
Ebized Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Question...whats the red like chaps?? Not seen one in the flesh Wudster will tell you viewtopic.php?f=70&t=34798 Quote
Chris`I Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 They look great in red, it was my colour of choice before I saw the black edition in quartz Quote
Wudster Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Question...whats the red like chaps?? Not seen one in the flesh Wudster will tell you viewtopic.php?f=70&t=34798 By far the fastest colour and I will say the paint seems to be standing up really well, no bad stone chips etc, others with the self healing paint have commented how "soft" the paint is... Quote
Chris`I Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Dont worry the Red will still be soft, just maybe not as soft Quote
Nelly Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 I like red im just never sure, seen so many that look bad as they get older Quote
Chris`I Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 I like red im just never sure, seen so many that look bad as they get older They do need protecting more than any other colour. For some reason reds always seem to oxidise a lot quicker than other colours. Just need to keep them topped up with wax and give them a good polish now and again Quote
