Yellow Plus v.s Ink Black Plus You decide!!!! - 10/06/2006 23:36
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 could have guessed, either someone asking for the yellow or the recaro's if i chop the black one!
Daniel, you opion please, would that be repair the black and offer the yellow to you at a charitable sum????

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 .

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.

)
Got to be the yellow one

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!

I'd say yellow as well (providing its the better car of the two)
If you can get some pics of it, i'd love to see them

Id say Black still as if its the CatD you wont make any money back selling it on to be honest and it will do better in the long run

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

Nah i bought a stunning 20vt in sprint blue, took 72hrs to decide i dont like the colour so off that went!
Yep yellow i think it has to be!

Re: Yellow Plus v.s Ink Black Plus You decide!!!! - 11/06/2006 22:49
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

Re: Yellow Plus v.s Ink Black Plus You decide!!!! - 11/06/2006 23:18
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

You have a barn full of coops and bits of coops!
Lets have some pics of that too carl!

Re: Yellow Plus v.s Ink Black Plus You decide!!!! - 12/06/2006 00:34
No bits just complete coupe's. the owner of the barn would have more than a fit should i chop anything in there.
Got 5 in there at the mo, with the black plus to add!

If i was you Carlt i would sell the yellow one, make some money on her and then put the black beast back to mint. A cat D isnt that bad, agreed it would put alot of people off but if its a car for you then you can run it like KP says and then you will have cheap motoring as i am sure you will get it mint cheaply with your facilities and skills
I really couldnt drive round in a yellow car and not feel slightly gay (yellow owners please dont take offence) you might aswell shout look at me out the window aswell when you drive past
and anyone i have spoken to about yellow coupes have said they dont like them (other then owners obviously)
Also think of how much £££ you could get for the plus.
thats what i would do, and spray the plus LE black, (like mine
) or something more exotic like you said

Got to be the yellow, particularly if you are concourseing it.
The black is a great colour, but it means that the dashboard strip is done in black, meaning that it doesn't look that different from a BMW black dashboard.

Re: Yellow Plus v.s Ink Black Plus You decide!!!! - 12/06/2006 22:04
I still think making the black one mint and flogging the yellow is best from money point of view and keeping a nice black one as i dont think there are as many black ones as people claim. I wonder if we can see atual number from fiat about which colors sold the most??

Would you belive, just told by a 19yr old from scotland, he said he ownes a coupe' so he basically is above and ownes me! Apparently ive never had or got any only crap one for breaking. lol, people do get upset about 5 pounds dont they!
