Help me make my final decision!

[John17]

Okay so i am torn between 2 choices for the exterior of my future Smart Car Passion. I know i want the interior to be black (not leather). I reserved it about a week ago and still have sometime to make some final changes on it.. i narrowed it down to 2 options

Option 1) Black exterior, silver tridion safety cell, silver 9 spoke rims

Option 2) Silver exterior, black tridion safety cell, black 9 spoke rims

I really think they both look awesome!
Any suggestions, comments, etc. will help!

From what I've read and observed - if you're over 30 take Option 1, under 30, take Option 2.

Personally, I don't picture a daily driver looking good with all black wheels, since usually part or all of the car will not be perfectly detailed, in which case it looks lousy. Yep, I'm over 30 too.

But, really, it's your decision since it's your car, and you shouldn't listen to anyone else when making those decisions - I don't.

I don't like the silver tridion cell and therefore would always choose black on that. I like the black or silver with it and not the black wheels. I don't like the look. I also may be in the minority here, but I really like the wheels that come with the pure model better than the other wheels, and not only because I have a Pure. I was happy to find I got those wheels. I like the black interior and if I'd had a choice that would have been my first and my gray as second. I am so happy with my red/black however and I am sure no matter which you choose, you will love it!!

It's all about personal choice and what YOU like! If you can't make up your mind you should flip a coin!

The seats and the Tridion colors cannot be changed once you get them. The body panels and the wheels can. My 2 cents.

black on black is the way to go.

One more point, John17 -

The panels are EASILY changed, so you might pick the cell color that goes best with the most other colors (to your eye). Also, the black is less $$. (OK, 2 points).


Cheers!

I never thought of that notsobadyathink!! So what your saying is that i should get the cell color that i like the best with other colors that i might buy in the future?!

So for a while i could have black exterior with black cell and then if i decide i want to go with my option 2 from before (silver exterior, black cell, and black rims) i just got to paint the rims and change the panels
Thats a great idea. I was also just looking at pictures and black exterior with a black cell, and some cool rims would look sweet!.
Thank you so much!!

Alright I made my final decision!
I'm going to go with with following for my Passion

-Deep Black exterior panels
-Black Tridion SafetyCell
-Standard Silver Rims
-Design Black interior (not leather)

Thanks for your comments, suggestions, etc. everyone!
