Right really really tough decision, i recently aquired a yellow 20vt 6, great i thought, that will do me for a couple of years! Then i found a wrongly advertised yellow 20vt that was infact a super rare Plus! So i bought that also.

But what 72hrs ago i just bought an ink black plus!

So now i have a dilema, the yellow 20vt 6 is out the window, but i carnt decide if i should keep a yellow plus or the black one??????

Both are loverlys (black one is bashed but thats not a problem to me) Both similar mileage, same year etc etc, but i cannot decide if i prefer the black or yellow!

Guess its the old love hate marmite position!

Help!

Hi no pics, the yellow one was advertised with a libary pic on the trader hence i spotted before you scavengers! What a idiot!

Black one is silverhino's, as seen in for sale section.

Im thinking yellow, just the black has a nice subtle classy look, could always paint it a proper shade of black while the glass is all out on the jig

If i keep the yellow the black plus gets chopped, i wont bother repairing to sell.

I would definatly have the yellow. the black is too dull IMO, and it is not even proper black.

Well IMO Ink Black is as proper as it comes, whilst yellow is just brash . And it's 'definitely' btw .

Sorry my spellin and grammer aint what it should be.

I think the Coupe's styling is in your face, and think yellow goes with it nicely..

I reckon you should keep Silverhino's - I just don't want to see it chopped.

Yeah, it was a nice example that one Another ink black plus fan here. Plus you'll make some serious money selling the yellow plus if by the sounds of it you bought it cheap as it was misadvertised.

Calt it seems to me its got to be the black.

Do up the black one and then spray it proper black and not that horrible blue/black tint.

Then start a bidding war on here for the Yellow Coupe

Gotta be black for me, seems to be a bit more easier to sell on in the future should you ever as Yellow is a marmite one where as black fits in well with anything and i think it looks better to be honest with the black sills and hides dirt better for commuting and nipping about and such like.

You are a Jammy sod though Carl

Right im drifting to the lellow, so looks like silverhino's ex minter is in for the chop!

Thinking on a bigger pic, whats the black one worth when i come to sell, will be on 90k soon, cat d, i think finding a buyer with 6k would be too hard.

So yellow i think it is!

I do love the black, and a nice ferrari or masserrati pearl black would have gone down a treat, but the lellow is too tempting. Plus the rarity value seems to be quite high!


But im still not 100% made up, only got 6 weeks to get either sorted ready to swap insurance to!

So not worth keeping it then, if your not gonna make much money back on it whole, chop it. Stick with the yellow!

Honestly, i'd keep the yellow, just the rarity of it will mean you lose no money for however long you keep it. So you may as well run it for a few months then sell it and still probably make on it

Ahh i didnt realise you were chopping the black one if you kept it...

I was meaning in the long run it wont really lose much to be honest and to run it instead

go with your heart and do not listen to any advice. After all do you consult your mates when choosing a woman

And a coupe colour is a far bigger decision
