:D NEW IMPROVED POLL ...............IT WORKS!!!!!!! :D

Hope this one works, good luck & have fun!! :D

I know it's a big choice but it's the only accurate way of gauging which is the most popular colour!!

I’ve tried to keep same/similar colours together, keep looking yours is in there somewhere!

All of these codes were available on 190's at some time, whether in the UK or worldwide.

Again you are able to select up to 4 colours for those with big wallets (or should that be empty wallets!).

Please check your code before entering it (no wild guesses please!)
Code can be found on the slam panel under your bonnet.


If i've missed any please let me know.

Colour guide

Sorry for the number of polls, only way it could be done!

On the poll where your code doesn't appear, click vote for none then confirm on next page!

it is not an accurate way of gauging anything. it's just as good as a tv news station poll asking you to call in and choose between two (or more) options. only the people who are watching answer the poll. the problem with this:

1. the people who are watching are not a random sample of the target population
2. the people who are watching are not a large enough population from which to draw a statistically significant conclusion about the results

same deal with this attempt at gauging colour popularity.

Mines 199 Blue/black even though it looks like light mettalic grey in some light, chris (Bachee) also said it looked light metallic grey. I'm presuming it hasn't had a re-spray because the kit thats going on is getting sprayed 199. It says 199 on the stamp and on the VIN checker, should be ok

Of course it's accurate, if i'd just put 'black' we wouldn't know if it were 040 or 199!

Ok maybe i should have said most popular in the club!

At the end of the day it's a bit of fun!!

Why put a 'downer' on a simple colour poll?????????????? :(

That's the beauty of 199, never seems to look the same colour from one day to the next coz of light reflection!!! B)

Ah yes - there are also a few other people who have 190's with non standard colours, for example there is a newbie (sorry i forgot his name) with a 190 with full Reiger Evo Replica (EVO III) bodykit, in bright yellow and i think he is going to have it resprayed in a metalic black with flakes or something.
