[dehne]

Gun metal grey seems to be the "mean" paint scheme for a 90...

[Colin Byrne]

you could paint a picture of a 105 on the side of it

... with flames down the side.

Come on Sheldon....

Here's an indication of how successful Colin's great idea could be.

[Brad M]

yes ... that does prove the idea has merit.

A 90 with a 105 painted on the side ... with Flames!!!!

Ah, the majesty of the 90 as she glides serenely around the race track.

Robins looks pretty sweet in the dark blue.  I often thought black would be quite nice, with some dark headlights like Robins car.  I've seen a road 90 in red with body-colour bumpers and nice wheels, and it looked REALLY nice.  To be honest I don't think yellow is a good idea for a boxy (in a good way) sedan.  But that's just my opinion, and with black stripes and maybe dark wheels it may look okay. 

Apart from the red one I mentioned, I think darker colours and/or metallics suit the 90.

There's a recent post in the pictures section with some images from Sandown, you can see Robins one and mine.  Luckily the photographer was on the correct side of the track so you can't see my mismatched panel.

Oh and Flames look good too.  See here for pics:-...http://www.alfaclubvic.org.au/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,68/topic,755.0/

The rest of you can get stuffed.  If a 105 ever beats Robin's 90 I'll paint one on the side of my car.

not to worry Sheldon, check out the handling of a particular Alfetta:

I had noticed that, and I'm not happy to have a competitor for 'most extreme lean-angle' award.  But just cos they lean doesn't mean they don't handle well.

i already have a grey one in a road car also i have had red, blue, metalic blue, gold and silver i am looking for somthing a bit more agressive than just a plain colour, and for flames not really my type but come to the 105 one the side that would be cool and to see a 105 go this quick would be to unbelieveable lol. what do u think of a hot pink???something different

[spieret]

Go for the red white and green of the italian flag

[Mat Francis]

Yes Sheldon, you do have a point. However, my car is not majestic, and definitely does not "glide serenely." In fact, i often compare it to riding a hung over three legged rhinoceros.

God I would love to see that happen.
