Depends on spec of combi really as a loud colour will only suit a motor of decent spec or it will look pig ugly like a pair of bollocks on a snake, used to like imperial blue but since the frs came out i have right off it, retro colours FTW

sadly no,the newer combos are a cracking van let down by poor engines andin my opinion the best diesel engines out there are the early cav td engine,good power/poke love veg oil and awesome fuel economy and reliability, ive had the ford 18td in my mk4 escort and wasnt overly impressed

already had this colour on my little nova a few years ago,


i like a lot of the blues like estoril etc though i cannot do with all the comments asking if its vxr/arden blue

some good colours been mentioned here and great to see different opinions,
heres a pic of my old combo,i intent to go a little more subtle this time lose the front splitter and a nudge bar maybe but unsure on that yet,i want to keep it looking slightly commercial but smart,

Fair play on that then, I thought it was an old shape. On that shape jet black with those wheels would look sweet imo
