    If I was doing it I'd definitely go the G4 orange.

    But if you do that I'll just be jealous so pick another colour.....
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Thanks for the replies and photos.

    I have to say I have strong lean toward the Burnt Orange myself.
    I like the G4 Orange but find it a little too red.

    The perrenial white is always easiest, as some friends believe I will make the 130 less valuable with a non factory colour. But if repainted properly. i.e. not with a roller, I honestly dont think it will make a difference.

    Biggest decision with the Burnt Orange is deciding to have a white roof or all over Orange.

    cheers

    I've been rethinking this.

    2 things are apparent.

    There are a few orange ones out there.
    Tamar Blue is the "least popular" in the poll. Therefore there are probably none out there in that colour.

    also I can't recall having seen a blue 130.

    These are sufficient reasons, I think, to go for the blue.

    Edit: OK I found the colour you mean:


    so it'd look kinda like this...




    which is good but to give it a bit of a twist I'd go something a slightly different (perhaps a little bit bluer/brighter) so if you ever park beside a Tamar Blue one, yours looks better!
