Craig782 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Ok not been around for a little while but getting back in the Z seat it seems Sold my 350z last September for a Navara due to an additional Labrador and need of a good towing vehicle (slight difference there but hey life changes) Anyways.... after writing my wife's Abarth 500 off last weekend on way back to Fiat for brakes to be checked under warranty (whole long story there but wont bore you all about that) decided we would like a 370z Roadster to replace it Now then Colour ???????? Trawling the internet as away working at moment in Holland due to the massive Hailstone damage they had recently (trust me you would all cry like babies if it happened to your cars) so trying to find good representatives of colours I have been offered an unbelievable new deal on a Black Rose but im just not sure Could you 370z owners mind showing off your car here with what you feel represents the real life colour the best on any of the colours Please please much appreciated ......

EH 370z Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I can post a black rose 370z roadster But not until tomorrow As for your deal, at the risk of being a bit cheeky pm me if you have had less than £7500 knocked off a new 61plate 2010MY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I like black rose. Looks nice but I've only seen it under artificial light so not sure how it would look on a grey day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Universal Silver Saw a roadster in the Nissan Garage in Basingstoke. It was stunning........ but then I am a slightly bias anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 As you've mentioned the Black Rose, it looks great under natural sunlight, and almost black at night, depending on the lighting situation. The darker sort of silvery tone looks good too. It shows off the lines really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH 370z Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Took some pics of our demo as promised The first two are of the car manky The rest are just washed and leathered off so you can see it at it's worst so to speak. TBH it's lovely colour but does need a lot of polishing to look it's best Anyway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I think they do about 30 shades of grey to choose from Personally I think a sports car, and in particular a Roadster should be in a bright colour, Red, Blue, Yellow, White, Green etc... it needs to stand out. If you want to blend in with a bland colour then maybe buy a bland car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Depends if you consider it to be a sports car or a GT car I guess For me uber lairy colours are reserved for super/hypercars but nice colours to set off the car are good if its not a daily driver and can be looked after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 370z doesn't come in uber lairy colours does it? The Yellow / White / Blue / Red are fairly reserved but IMO show the cars lines off better than a dull colour. Black is ok but you see a lot of black cars around these days, bright Silver is ok but almost every repmobile is silver... any shade of grey is just If I was walking round with Cameron Diaz and wanted to show her off I wouldn't send her to Primark to buy an outfit... Anyway you have to choose the colour yourself to go with your own personality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 black is ok? ......OK? On a roadster. Sir if I had a glove I would slap you with it. Pistols at Dawn next time at the wise old owl me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful when polished I have to agree but loads of black cars around that was my point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Have to admit I'm becoming a big big fan of White 350s and 370s, they really stand out. I know what you mean about black though, I look out my window and 5 black cars are all lined up next to one another, none of them shine like mine though Big problem with black is 10 yards down the road it's filthy again and shows it, but when polished up they are stunning. Would definitely go for a black or White roadster. I forget the chaps name but he took a White roadster to Wales this year. Looked lovely.

Will370z Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Nooooooooooooo Colin don't do things like that lol, that's cruel. Ummmmmmm nice car though lol. To be honest now I've had the berks done I'm really happy as I've got the car howi want it. Not looking for 370s just yet ....ummm let's look at that ad again lol. Back to the thread I would definitely go for a colour that stands out. Last year in Wales I had a brand new gun metal 370. I absolutely loved it but found the colour just didn't stand out enough for me. Was very tempted to buy a yellow one once, they look great. But Every time I see colins car just makes me want to buy a white one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ioneabee Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I had a black merc - but as has been said, tends to be a fairly common colour colour and a nightmare to keep clean (wonderfull after a wash tho) now have a white audi TT - really stands out, you get noticed, but... if a fly sits on it (and usually pukes up on it) its VERY visible I've now ordered the 370 in black rose - who knows how this will turn out these are the only photo's I've found of the GT ed in this colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerxp Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 For comparison purposes (I'm having a thick moment, can't remember it's name, not universal silver)... Also, compared against a 'standard' silver behind in one of the shots. This is my favourite colour (really hides the muck). I was offer a black rose car but I wasn't keen on the changing colour (to virtually purple) but would have had a standard black one. The top & bottom piccies were taken when my car was clean but the middle one was after about 3 weeks of not being washed - not much difference really.

rogerxp Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 ...think it's Twilight Grey (though, according to the Nissan website, you can't spec this colour any more ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter10 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Never liked white cars until recently. The white 370z is . It's a shame they don't have (at least I haven't seen it) an orange or dark blue 370z. The 370z in midnight blue would look nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
