Is white just a fad? [Archive] - Saxperience

Im looking at a car.
Now "White" seems to be the new colour of choice.

Last year it seemed to be ST Orange was the choice to respray in.

I've always liked black but recently had a pot noodle horn for a white car.
Whatever i buy would have to be for at least 3 years.

At the end of that 3 years, I'm guessing the "OMG WHITE" fad would have died.

Anyway.

In the style of MJ.
Black. Or White.

I'd go with black, stealth car ftw!

Black imo. Looks amazing when it's clean. White is nice but it'll be harder to sell as well.

Ive always liked white cars and reckon I always will do, but yeah recently theyre the IN colour. Just means theres gonna be loads of cheaper white high spec cars when I can afford them later in life which cant be a bad thing

Oh noes.

I believe it's called an Mcoupe is it not?

djrem

Insurance is too much.
I really like the Z4 Coupe but it has only one engine option:
3.0l so insurance is a bit mad for me : £1600.

Looking at one that is £19500, Automatic 3.0l.
35ish mpg too :)

But found one slightly more expensive that is White.
Love it in white but think its just like how i liked ST Orange last year and nearly resprayed my 106 in it.

Glad i didnt as it seemed to have caught on and killed itself off as a colour.

The M4 is a Z4 coupe with a 3.2l engine.
Mad Spec. But retard expensive to run and insure.

21st January 2009, 15:51

white does look awesome but its just a phase. it will die out in the next few years so a white car will loose more money.

personally i would get white.

are you buying with your heart or brain?

betty02

21st January 2009, 15:53

Rem tis your car mate up to you, Times change yearly so whatever color you choose will be out in 2 years and will be bogey green or something next, tbh im in lvoe with white atm, and i have a black car, black is just as hard to keep clean imo!

21st January 2009, 15:56

are you buying with your heart or brain?

My Heart wants to get a loan, rob a bank and get a White M Coupe.
But I dont have the budget for it.

Basically, I've got money saved up and my parents have said they'd double what I have but only if I get a car. (No property or Drug deals)

My brain says get a Z4 Roadster 2.5l thing in GunMetal Grey.

But I dont like the Soft Tops. And then the only Coupes are:

3.2M or a 3.0l

If I drive in to traffic London, it'd have to be Automatic too as I'm not into ragging a manual box.

I've always liked dark cars, so think that the black is a bit more laid back.
I may be an ASW online, but at McRags, subtle ftw. x

Whats your budget 10k?

Ordinarily i'd say black, but there are some cars which will always look stunning in white imo & the z4 coupe is one of them!

I've got £10,000 so £20,000 as a result is my budget.

Really the more under £20k the better as it helps pay the insurance off in one go. :)

Couldn't see any cheaper ones in white. Probabley a few out there to find though!

white will look good but will pass its sell by date within 3 years

black=safe. keep black polished and it will look twice the car park to a white one

Yeah thats the nail on the head.
Need the car to:

1. Be something I like
2. Represent my Business image more.

For the second reason, I think black is more suitable.
White is a bit in your face all be it, a very nice colour for the Z4.

M3's are too expensive to insure for myself.
TT's, even the new one, I feel are too girlie and have the hairdresser stigmatism.

Range Rover. My Dad has jsut got one on order.
It's caused a minor controversy among the family but still, I don't fancy filling it up to run at 19mpg :n:

i lvoe the range's and if you get the RangeRover Vogues over the Sport think you get a fair few more MPG's, i know exactly the kind of car you want though as thats what iom after in a few years, something flash but not im a rich cunt job. bne ahrd best thing is to go around palces look at them in the flesh and then hit online tbh buddy!

Spanky

21st January 2009, 16:29

yea we all heard :)

as for the car colour choice black is shexi as fook but my god TERRIBLE for swirl marks!!

As for white, looks great, gets dirty quickly but would look great with black bits.... alloys etc.

IMO black wil be ALOT easier to sell, if paintwork is top notch...

I won't be modifying this in anyway minus some fluffy dice and a porno airfreshner.

I think in my head, i know its black.
Its going to look better ourside a customers offices than something thats going to get me branded a chav before i walk into their receptions

I guessed as much, but what i ment was you see some Audi RS4's for example in white with black STANDARD alloys.....

I no what you meen though, somthing to look classy rather then boyracer-ish etc

some cars look ott in white (ie range rovers)

White is just a fad, though it's always been my favourite colour for a car. Black is my least favourite

Interestingly I have owned 2 black cars and no white ones

reds a good colour. if its kept in good condition.

Personally I wouldn't buy black. So many black cars on the road. White is a fad but there's no denying that they look amazing when they are shiny and clean.

ne_jam

21st January 2009, 17:45

i much prefered white cars before they were popular now , its either a white fez st with a chav in it, white bm with a dealer driving it or a fotty player in a white range lol

CHIP

21st January 2009, 18:19

White is a fad tbf. Black will always look good, but can hide the curves of a car and is a bitch to keep clean. Silver will always do well, easy to clean, looks good if not abit boring. Personally i like silver/blue and would probably have that on my next car (like Moonstone).

I've liked white cars since I've been young, but then as a kid loved the "coolness" of the black car-look like an undercover cop etc.... as I grew older loved the stealth look of a black car and black to me looks more professional.

It's not that white will go out of "fashion" (it'll be back in fashion in a few years anyway) but the fact that what you want the car for (looking good in front of your business associates/all your customers) I would go for black. Plus imagine showing up at a customers location where he watches you arrive (to him what a man drives is how he presents himself) you step out of a white beemer with black tar marks sprayed up the side from a 50 mile drive.. how would that make you look in front of him?

Does look good in white though rembo. :cool:

Do you not realise how much a dark colour shows up dirt? TBF, if your talking for a business like that, silver is the way to go. Black/Dark cars get dirty as hell and show it very badly. Trust me.
