Vixen with 6sp auto and the black 19" wheels. Mmmm....

They killed off Shockwave, so that's pretty much the only colour combo F6 I'd go for now.

Ego, Octane, Fever, Silk. Just got a Territory for the company and loved the Ego! The other 3 just suit FPV's and those rims

I don't silk would really suit a F6. I'd go Fever, Conquer, Toxic and despite the fact i despise it you would be mad not to get one in Silhouette.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

I havent seen fever in the flesh yet so i dont think i'll be game enough to order one of them! I've seen the colour chip and it's no Rapid!

Have a picture of one in white which is what FPV will be using to Advertise them, looks pretty good too!

Any other choices, gotta lock them in by tomorrow!

+1 for Toxic, I seem to love that colour lately.

Maybe I have mental issues, I dunno.

Fever is the same as Acid Rush basically and will not suit the Typhoon.

Got any pics of the cars?? What wheels do they come with?

If i was ordering them id go 3 Autos and 1 Manual for the simple fact that they seem to be more popular in Auto. As for colours id go 1 x Octane, 1 x Black, 1 x Conquer and 1 x Ego.

Heres a pic of Fever.

If you are giving them away, the Oct Silloutte Auto with Leather and sunroof would go nicely in my garage. :

I'm not up to date anymore with colours from ford so ill stay out of that one but I would most definetly be going 3 auto and 1 manual. From what ive seen people tend to prefer the ZF with the F6 especially since the auto works alot better with the turbocharged motor than the manual.
