car 'bling' colour - whats your fav?
 
I can't seem to create a poll so I'll just ask

what is your prefered option part colour?

- blue
- red
- plain alu / not coloured / white
- black/gun metal/dark coloured/sealth
- same colour as my other parts on my car

if you have any other wacky ideas such as purple... ( :P ) then feel free to say also, but if you could choose one from the above list also

I have to admit to loving the tamiya light blue, gunmetal is awesome as well though!

RogerM 03-02-2010 12:39 PM

Red would be great but otherwise it's blue to match the rest of the stuff on the cars

Dazzler 03-02-2010 12:40 PM

The X-Ray orange as per T2-009, looks a bit special - Durango have also added a splash of it on their shock collars, as have schumacher. Looks a classy touch.

Matt-h 03-02-2010 12:45 PM

I also like the x-ray, but black anodised looks great. blends in nice with the carbon, wiring etc

Matt-h 03-02-2010 12:48 PM

....the Sakura Zero touring car!

I've always liked green anodising on CeFX 1/12th cars, but colour isn't really important to me.

Gunmetal with a bit of red thrown in for good measure.

A bit like this! (the gunmetal could be a tad darker though...)

Only if i could easily get the same part in a colour i preferred. (but i guess thats fairly obvious anyway? :))

I think the Tamiya blue is the most "bling" look :)

Lee Martin 03-02-2010 01:36 PM

Cant beat TAMIYA blue!!!!

Garry Driffill 03-02-2010 01:37 PM

For me it has to be Tamiya Blue, Nothing compares :D

GRIFF55 03-02-2010 01:46 PM

Tam blue is a bit sexy, but as an option part it would have to be polished or red! ooooooh yehhhhhhhhhh

DaSloth 03-02-2010 02:10 PM

i think with the cr2 se coming, red carbon will be the new *bling*

shark 03-02-2010 02:14 PM

Has been and always will be BLUE :thumbsup:

David Church 03-02-2010 06:59 PM

I wana see more red stuff!

Kopite 03-02-2010 07:05 PM

Liverpool red is what I should go for, but I just prefer the blue anodising!


Gun metal over everything though, as it looks classy and expensive.

DCM 03-02-2010 07:06 PM

don't care on the colour to be honest, if it is bling it got to be bling, but otherwise, nope

poopers 03-02-2010 07:06 PM

Orange, orange is ace. Blue's soooo last year, and the year before, and before, and before.:p

CHEVY 03-02-2010 07:35 PM

more red would be nice as liverpool fan:thumbsup:

but will take what ever kit comes in :p

MikePimlott 03-02-2010 07:51 PM

Another one for tamiya Blue.

Everytime i took the shell off my 501x i loved it.

MattW 04-02-2010 12:22 PM

You can't have 2 odd colors on a car - no way!! Unless one of them is silver/black/gun metal.

I've had occasions where i've wanted to put blue stuff on a car with other stuff that is purple - blue is easily removed with a dremel wire wheel! and purple can be re-applied with a sharpie.

ApexSpeed 04-02-2010 03:52 PM

Hard anodized or gold for aftermarket parts. For myself, hot pink or acid lime green always are my choices. But I'm weird like that. :woot:

Nick Goodall 04-02-2010 04:08 PM

Blue still gets my vote, ever since all those Blue Trinity parts you used to get for the Losi XX i have loved that colour!

Some funky options here though, not seen much of Bronze!

Who does all of these colours Nick?? might need some stuff doing again;)

Chris Doughty 04-02-2010 04:47 PM

what about plain alu parts and a pack of sharpies included? :thumbsup:

dancoog 04-02-2010 04:58 PM

I really want some orange.. Almost imposible to find though. :cry:

elvo 04-02-2010 04:59 PM

Blue is better. And, aside from black and silver, the only non-gay option.

lochness42 04-02-2010 05:18 PM

Black ano and cut silver edges - like Cat SX or I belive Xray XB808 or so. I really like that style.

j.m. 04-02-2010 05:23 PM

My vote is for red or orange, just because I think that there's too much blue out there and Red's my favorite color.

But green or the 'hudy spring steel' color would also be nice for a change...

Rebelrc 04-02-2010 07:01 PM

Orange and gunmetal =winner for me:thumbsup:

emtee 04-02-2010 08:37 PM

stox217 04-02-2010 09:53 PM
