Two tone as a idea = yes.
Red and white, at that point in the body (really doesn't sit nicely with the red tail lights beyond the red to my eyes)

Could you get a C6 in the "bottom half" shade (which I would call Diablo Red) - always seem to be drab shades I've seen, an all red C6 would look lovely I think!

And the full bootlid being a different shade always says "I've been down the scrappy but nothing matching available" !

Open top motoring or favourite colours for cars. :?:

These would get the shutter click from the Falcon in either category, if they turned up at the garden centre car park.

Brightwells have a few British "Icons" in their upcoming sale, including this yellow offering from Morgan and a green thing from Jaguar...

Renault do a nice shiny red maybe not quite "Captured" by the camera, to full effect on this Capture.

"Open top motoring" thread's Car of the Day shutter-click, given a bit extra contrast and a bit extra colour saturation.

Quite an array of Lotus in many different colours but this was the stand-out, and I like the shape.

Yes, I was just saying in a messenger conversation how white really suits an XM... Thinking on, virtually any Citroen looks great in white... Especially the Xantia, Saxo and AX, of which I've owned white examples... Maybe I'm a bit biased!

This would be more of a tin tent than a stay in comfort. Replace the current vinyl signs with a bit of Citrojim logo-Ing for even more brand recognition than you already have :-D
