What you reckon one would look like in Polaris?

Im tempted, very tempted, to do mine in it rather than its original Mercury. Cant say Ive seen one done and I love Polaris on Escorts and is my fave colour for them.

So what do you think???

Benni

I have gone with Mercury as I love that color. I guess it's all down to personal choice.

Polaris ive voted for as like you say hasnt been done before, nice set of suttle rims to finish it off i think it'll look nice.

i love polaris but is it really that different from mercury?take it polaris is lighter?

the best colour for a saff is moondust silver followed by smokestone

the best colours for escort are gloss blackand polaris

the best on 3dr/500 is white(altough i really like the battle ship grey one on this site)

Id never do a colour change on any cossie personally, and id defo stay with mercury. For the difference it would make, is it really worth it? It will raise suspicion when you come to sell it and limit your market fo sure.

Obviously its your choice, but if i 'was' doing a colour change id try something diffferent, i think an auralis saff could look good! Or i really do like them in radient red.

Mercury.

I'd stick with the original colour

MENIS

i voted mercury grey as i think standard looking is the best way to go now days.

I don't like Sapphires in non standard colours because they look naff. There is an imperial blue one around my way and it's a beautiful colour but it looks so wrong on a sapph. For that reason I voted to keep it mercury Mercury is also quite rare, if you want to change the colour get a common white one

my first cosworth was for sale in the autotrader with no colour mentioned ,i rang the fella and asked what it was and then
said "tell me its flint grey" so he said its flint grey, when i turned up
it was fookin mercury grey i bought it anyway and ended up liking it but you can't beat flint grey if its the proper shade unfaded

Mercury Grey - because like Crystal Blue, it's an original (ie 1988) Sapphire Cosworth colour, and there's not many about.

broadmoor

Battle ship? cheers

RsToy

i had a rs2000 in polaris which is a nice colour but for the saph i thinks it would look better in a darker grey.

Dan

Love this car, need more pics!

Mercury, when done right, is a lovely colour, FAR better than Polaris! I should know!

JAP CRAP

only got one pic on photobucket but a few on the hard drive

smithy20vt

That looks like Audi Nimbus Grey really suits the car IMO

broadmoor

Its not fair to fill his thread up...

so heres 2

Not a Cossie, but you get the idea.





This is Polaris Grey as originally painted from new.

And to give you an idea on the metallic content:


and this is how they can shine when kept nice:




Gotta go Polaris

CRAIG HAYTER

i agre i think changing the colour is not the brst idea as if i was looking at a sapphire and i knew it had a colour change i would not buy it but got to say the flint grey is a nice colour but the ultimate daddy colour is smokestone fkn love that colour i was going to but one after i sold my white sapphire but he was wanting top dollar for it and the paint job was crapi even got insurance for the car and i looked great in the photos but not up close and i am to picky but if i had bought it i would need to bare metal respray it and thats not cheapgo with smokestone if you do decide to colour change it

BigErn

Still havent decided, come on peeps I need more help here

Rab

Tough one. I went for Mercury, cos I like an original colour, but have to admit it would look ace in Polaris. Wish I could have voted twice.

Polaris Grey would look nice, But I'm biased, keep it Mercury Grey


Broadmoor, You 3dr is lovely

BigErn

I think its looking to stay Mercury, bet I end up kicking myself thinking "wonder what Polaris would have looked like"

xr2i-carl

I would paint it in its correct original colour mate.

Kam B

get a white saf and paint it polaris, not a rare colourd saf mate

might aswell get a rare auto xr3i with pas and reshell it to an RST

BigErn

Purely because its original colour is Mercury and there aint too many left then its stayin as it is.

Maybe in the future Ill do another one Polaris or I may just do it properly and buy a Polaris Escos, THE ONlY Escos colour IMO
