Your opinion on Montego Blue with Coral Red

dimeesq · 11-08-2008, 12:07 AM

I don't even really notice it anymore. Thought I might get sick of it but it isn't happening. Doesn't come off as flashy as you might think. I actually get far more compliments than anything else. Of course, everyone could be lying to me. But I wouldn't change it if I had the option.

Not for me,IMHO. I went with Montego blue, black 'ette, and gray poplar trim. I prefer classy, understated.
If you like it, that'sall that matters.

Montego Blue with Savanna leather and aluminum trim!! FTW

so thanks for the opinions. nice to know what the majority of people think. i'm glad a lot of people didn't get it, if i see another mb/cr 1 i'm going to be pissed. like wearing the same clothes to a party.:thumbup: i'm going to pick it up next week, finally. i'll put up pictures so you can admire, or vom.:wub:/

Montego Blue/Imola Red, Yes. Montego Blue/Coral Red, too bright.

But its still an awesome combo, its different n unique.

Individually, they are great colors. After all, i bought Montego. :biggrin:

But the combo of the two just isn't quite right. They are a little too strong against each other. I think Coral looks best with the white or black.

Sorry, not feeling it.

is that a performance coke-bottle shifter I see ? a diet coke one would be lighter

The world is far too adverse to interesting color combos. I think Montego + Coral is slick and sporty. I personally wouldn't choose it, but I like it.

My only real complaint about the 1 is that the color palette is generally not very interesting. Don't get me wrong, I love my AW/Coral, but had Interlagos or Laguna Seca been available… perhaps Phoenix Yellow (and if I could've previewed them on a 1), I would've jumped for those in a heartbeat.

Blue exterior with lemon interior.. nice colour combination... that's what I wanna get at first, but no option for Le Mans Blue.. only comes with black interior
