And here is the Silver that caused the problem... It weakens the stealth effect of the grey coloured Titanium and attracted the thief to the car...

Mate, you are aware that the Aussie Shinka's have Titanium coloured rotor crests in the headrest. They aren't silver like the ones in our cars. I kid you not.....that was an "extra" selling feature of the SE pack...

And are you sure that a thief that is so lazy that he (or she) only takes two wheels instead of four is going to know that they are non-grey (Silver coloured) Titanium crests... Anyway I think that the ones in our cars are definately aluminium coloured.. (Help Revolver - Gomez winning again..)

Hmmm... Hymee, Rx88er and maybe two others from memory... Same number as last year.. It is not a popular colour... Perhaps those owners would prefer the phase "it is a more exclusive colour"?

gees.... when i got told there is one available straight away for me when i walked in... i was hoping it'd be a WB and not a BB....
i reckon i'd keep the WB colour and play with the interior.... but knowing me, i'd go and change whatever colour to orangy anyway...

EDIT: kall just told me that someone FINALLY copied my colour.... 'bout time

A spirited defence xxup.

Unfortunately, I'm in no position to dispel such myths.

Never mind - 'Mez obviously comes into this thread to expel his demons. I think he's in therapy.

OMG OMG OMG OMFG

As you all know I have a SS!! Now after reading all this gaff I'm a little perturbed as well as a little worried. I'm safe though I think as WD accidentally splashed a teenzy amount of Holden Devil Yellow on my cars front wing I will however start praying, we are taking the 8 away now as Bruce can't drive a manual cause he dropped the Alfa's crank on his foot, and he hasn't been able to finish the engine!! Never mind.

I don't believe in all this guff about silver, ever thought about the fact that it;s a popular colour and so in numbers the stats are loaded cause there are more of us?? Huh huh??

I have a black cat, have 13 diamonds in my white gold engagement ring and don't care if I walk under a ladder I won't get spattered by paint anyways, if I spill salt I just vacuum it up. So seems to me I am the perfect SS owner!

Oh yeah just to dispel the myth a little further, my bumper got damaged by next doors ankle biters and then a few weeks later I had a kid in a falcon kiss my bumper so I got a brand new one all for free! So if the car is jinxed then mines not!

I like all the other colours apart from white...IMHO it looks to bland and does nothing for the curves of the car. Oh yeah and my parting comments is, metallics are in this summer, so I'm the one in fashion tee hee

http://whatswhat.com.au/fashion//whatshot/

I'm off to clean the car now.

Have a great day y'all

I'm sure you bring enough good vibes to chase out the SS curse Julia.
