I'm sorry but sparkling graphite is an awful choice.

It's going to be hard to pull anything really nice off without lowering the car imo. You need to find standard cars in the standard colours and pick from them.

Yes but a pic showing it lowered on some ACS rims isnt

Im a fan of Imola, i just think that you need to get as many pics as possible of standard cars and base your opinion on them. The good thing with the imola is that i think it's one of the only colours that will suit the hardtop. White or other colours could look pretty nasty with a matching roof.

That one picture is of a non standard car yes but the rest I have posted are standard ///M cars Dknt want to ruin the car by fitting lowered suspension, it came with it and it drove like shit.

I didn't mind the white hardtop, but I understand what people say with the pov spec issue. I think also the polished rims would have lost their impact on a white car where as the red is a dark red so the colour comes out better

I understand why you dont want to lower it. I think Imola is the best option for you. The polished motorsports suit the colour perfectly and so will the black interior and even black roof when you dont have the hardtop on.

When is this going to happen?
