I need opinions on my cars colour scheme

The reason i ask now is that im about to paint the engine bay,

If the car is black on red, engine bay will just be black POR15 . Wheels will be anthracite with polished lip OR black chrome

If i decide white on red then engine bay goes red. And rims will be silver with polished lip

Before you say "hey man its up to you" i like both and could go either way.

Think super car....non-conservative...ie its made to be seen

Thanks alot everyone

BLACK ON RED

WHITE ON RED

First vote! Black on red - more aggressive I reckon - more "look at me!"

Can't wait to see the final result!!

white on red... its classier and lets face it, the 924 has more of a refined look rather than aggressive.

Black on Silver

but that's not an option so I voted for black on red. Together I think those colors are too violent for the 924 - the black on silver looks more retro IMO, which is why I prefer it.

but hey man its up to you - lol

White on red. (But honestly, some day I'd like to do the old Gulf GT40 color scheme. LeMans wannabee. )
