G'day

Just wondering if someone had any pics of toranas painted in the holden coulor, "Turismo blue" or any similar coulors.

I have an LX So preferably pictures of LH-UC models.

Thanks.

I was going to go with turismo, as the local Holden dealer had a limited edition Turismo Commodore, before the colour was actually released, but I wanted a solid, not a metallic/pearl colour

so I went with this, havnt really got any decent pics tho

the photos are not really the same colour as in real life but you get the idea
the second one is probably the closest

'Bionic' is a Ford colour but its bloody fantastic! It looks heaps better than the Turismo... Its available only on the BF XR Falcons. Its similar to their older bright blue, but solid and even brighter.

I like it :spoton:

Makka, your Blue is probably my favourite Solid Blue... Looks sweet with the HSV? Wheels on it (3rd pic).

I think i might go with that ford 'Bionic' blue. The turismo blue seem to have more grey in it, whereas the bionic is lighter and brighter.

Thanks alot. :spoton:

Hey makka what's the size and name of the rims in the 2nd pic?!

Love the colour, suits the flareless sedan perfectly.

Like the colour in the first photo Makka, though I gather thats not what its like in the flesh. Like the look without the front bumper too, similar effect to the new chyrsler and rollers........if you like that.



Ps: there's no way of saying this without causing offence, wishing to cause non though: but for me the first thing that caught my eye when I looked at the right side of your car was the Ford? mirror...........sticks out like dog's balls.

RIM, they are HSV knock offs made by CSA, HQ pattern and offset, 17x8 with 245's front and rear

355LX, the second pic was some 17x8 Coddington Billets, HQ pattern but too much dish to fit properly, I couldnt even get the front one on!
