I like the Darker colours, not a fan of silver....

But I will say this for the light ones, silver / gold especially...

They hide the wear very well, any small scratches can stay damn near invisible, where on a dark colour, a scratch down to primer shows up very easily/

Have managed to polish the one out where some scrote keyed it a couple of years back but it's only really hidden with coloured polish

Silver on an estate is by far the best colour :y
I am however a little bit biased ;D ;D

Silver only needs washing once a month and it still looks good in between. Sometimes when time is tight I just wash the wheels and the car looks great 8-)

Yep... Reubens Red IIRCC. I'm hoping to find that Josh will find a Late Reg 3.2 Elite Estate in this colour, with CID and light coloured cow interior for the right price  ::)

Don't want much do I? ;D ;D

White or a light colour. Even with air con, dark colours are difficult in 36 deg (in shade). Pity mine is red! ;D ;D
