Default Colour opinion - XR5

Hey everyone.
Just wanted to throw this one out there.

My mate if going to buy a LV XR5 and she can not decide on the colour.
She wants White or Red. (something about Frozen in Colorado or something)
What do you guys (as the experts) think she should get.

I told her red, but as you can see from below I am a bit biast

Red is the standard NCO colour. Won't red fade to pink eventually

I like the white.

Heres some pics I took of a red one. Haven't seen a white up close

Go white!!
The white is a new colour and looks stunning in the XR5. Red is also good, and just as rare as the white, but coming from someone who doesn't typically like white cars, the XR5 looks amazing in white. Just don't get the stripes!! On either colour you go for.

There's some pics of the white one here:

Just my 2c.

I think your friend has found her way over to the XR5 forums. White is the popular choice

And another joins the xr5t group. Great choice with the white - just makes me think of the VXR Nurburgring edition and they look hot! The LV in white will speak for its self

Congrats!!

Well she has made up her mind and ordered a white one.
I think that she gets it on this weekend so I will make her take photos and I will post them here.

I will keep you guys posted, thanks for all the comments on the colour.
She was having a panic attack.

I saw a white LV parked in beaumont st in newcastle a few weeks ago.

I think a few people were injured after slipping in the puddle of drool that was left on the foot path.
