The lambo is more of a true orange, and the ford is pale in comparison but it has a metalic flip to it which is cool!!! but personaly I would go for the ford option as there is more depth with the light & shade due to the metalic!!

I would go for Focus Orange. Think they both look similar but as I\'m a cheap skate I think the Touch up pen from Ford will be cheaper!! :Giggle

Hard to tell from the photo\'s (the two shots of the lambo look quite different even though the same car). Probably doesn\'t matter either way....But you\'ll be Mr Tangotan from now on.....:Giggle

Call me colour blind but I can\'t see much of a difference personally.

If it must be between the 2 of those, I\'d choose lambo mainly cause its sounds better (and will prob. make car easier to sell too!).

But as someone else said....I\'d do something different if I was respraying my car a whole new colour.

..Just my thoughts

Hi Shane,
well the choice is easy really,the Lambo orange will give the car about 50hp more than the Focus orange!:Thumbs-up
Job done.
Regards
Carl

The ST orange is actually very expensive due to the metallics and \'things\' (tech term) in it.

i got it priced and the st orange is a little cheaper thn the lambo. they both have alot of pearl and flake in them.

rember guys that this car is an irish car so theres not alot of rxs in ireland never mind orange rx.

i do like the focus blure but a mate has his civic done that colour.
