You could go with Shockwave blue - awesome colour, kind of similar to Subaru, as seen on Australian Falcons

That looks quite nice steward, I've just been reading your topic page. Awesome work :thumpsup:

I'll be putting on some black cf wheel arches & bootlid.

Not too bad Cobra, although I wouldn't mind something a bit darker so suit the black roof and outer bits and still keep the brightest of the main blue colour if that makes sense

I have seen that colour on a Falcon with black stripes etc - looked quite good. The black was a matt black in this case tho.

It is a much better colour in person than in photos unfortunately, it is a metallic pearl blue - looks great in the sun.

Cheers! Always nice to hear encoragement ;) The only combo I like better than a vibrant blue and black is white and black (not that im biased :D ) Sounds awesome!

EDIT: Just read your project page too, we both have J reg City E's.... high 5's! Good work, the finished car should be excellent :)

I really like the very light powder blue on the new fiat 500's not sure it would go with a black roof though. then there is the BMW blue like on the M3's circa 1999

There seems to be a lot of people going blue and black this year.

Mine is going to be Ford Imperial Blue body (aka 04 plated RS Focus) with Ford Panther Black roof.
