AW or MG with CR

It looks as if Alpine White and Mineral Grey are the two most popular colors to go with Coral Red.

I use to think alpine white was the most popular but recently I"ve seen alot of people ordering Mineral Grey.

Pretty much everyone orders MG with CR. It's beautiful.
However, the MG blends the rear diffuser a lot as in it all looks the same.
AW brings out a lot of defined lines.

I went with SBM, I had AW before just wanted something different.

Glacier Silver looks great also with CR

Based on your location in NY, which color would be easier to keep clean..

e.g. in Seattle I would never buy a white car.

Every car I own is white with red (or some sort of red) interior. Wouldn't have it any other way.

+1 - both look very good with CR, but I voted Alpine White. I like the bold contrast and I love white cars.

Grey on Red is a beautiful combo ... although I think BMWs red is too red. Lexus' red color is more wine colored. Grey/Red looks classy and sporty at the same time.

I would go White on Red only with a very sporty car.

This, I'd only consider white on an M3, and even then I'd lean towards black. 5 years ago I probably would have said otherwise, but I think white is a little too feminine and now it's extremely common.

Black, all day, every day, on any car. Black cars just have a certain presence, though it comes with a high price of work keeping it clean. But I voted MG

You will not regret your choice. IMO silver is one of the colours that's easy to keep clean.
Time and time again, my friends thought I had just washed my car until they get really close to the car.

Also, the combo silver/coral red is just a beauty.

You can't go wrong. I went with AW, mainly because my friend had just ordered an MG car and I didn't want to seem like I was copping his style too much.

Plus then you can put the money you saved on the paint towards something else. ;-)

MG is gorgeous though, and will generally show less dirt.

AW is a bright color.
CR is a bright color.

Both together are a bit too much IMO.

So I vote MG despite I don't want to maintain a dark color. White is the easiest color to maintain by a landslide.

I'll be going AW/CR. I saw an F33 in the showroom and was sold. Can't go wrong either way.
