How long until someone has a couple of choice body panels made out of carbon fiber? Add lightness as they say...

It would certainly add lightness in the wallet area!

Seriously though, carbon front mudguards could make a noticeable difference to the car and not just a cosmetic one.

[quote=DaveW]What colour has been your favourite of all the cars you've owned in the past?
That's a good start.

Agree with DaveW
I chose the same colours (or near enough and keeping to a standard MMC colour) as my first and probably favourite car namely a Dove Grey/scarlet interior Morris 1000.

I think its is so difficult to choose the perfect colour for the 3 wheeler as its shape is unique. It wears most colours well. The car looks good with embellishments such as Sharks teeth etc or plain with maybe just a bonnet strap.

Probably more important is whether you go for bright pack or not. The pros and cons were discussed on a post dated 21/01/15 'Three Wheeler polished engine'.

Have you got a favourite driving coat or helmet ( or shoes )? Get it painted to match.

For me it was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made, I agonised for months.

Agreed, it will drive you insane if you live overseas or far from a dealer/factory. The configurator samples aren't standard colours either. And even the numbers produced by it won't correspond to the factory system either. Good luck. The good news is that I haven't seen a bad colour on a M3W yet. The best idea is to make it yours subtly or not

Have you been on morgans web site and used the car creator? it allows you to choose any colour imagineable and even change the colour of the interior as well

Appreciate all the replies..and the understanding! I AM agonizing over this much more than other cars I've had...and I agree that it's b/c of the uniqueness of the design!

I have gone to the config and although it offers a reasonable facsimile of the car in color, there's no '360' or other views possible, and the colors selected don't look like the actual car scans I've seen, which makes it even more difficult.

I have decided on the chrome pack, though. And the wood Moto Lita wheel. The three eared chrome knockers. Maybe the chrome wheels, don't know yet. And of course the Union Jack badge.

Right now I've narrowed it down to 3..opinions welcome!:

1) Navy metallic with red pleats.

2) Anthracite metallic with red pleats.

3) Black with anthracite pleats stitched black.
