Yellow Bird colour schemes

[Beeblebrox237]

Well, I just bought a RUF Yellow Bird (my third), and want some ideas on how I should paint the car/wheels. Preferably not grey or white. So, what do you think?

[Schwartz]

Navy blue
Silver or white wheels

Or gold chrome (just kidding)

 

[salikriaz]

GREEN. (lime? any nice shade really..)
With whatever wheels that go with it

I'll try that.

Also this. I saw an old 911 in lime green at the regional auto show last year, and it looked pretty sweet, though it was in perfect condition.

One thing that I do a lot with my RUFs, is to mimick real Porsche colors... It's an addictive game, specially for Porsche fans. I already have like 30 RUFs and can't resist when I see one in the UCD. With the yellowbird I usually do colors common to regular Porsche 964 turbo, such as red with silver BBS wheels. Light green works well too, same for light blue! I love the Singer 911 too, so I have 2 yellowbirds with the same colors/specs... (the RUFs feel just right with a bit less power, from 300 to 380hp, try it! I use some ballast at the front to keep things right too)

Singer 911

For other models, the RUF BTRs can look a lot like RAUH-Welt Begrieff clones. Strong colors, big wings, etc...

For the BTR, RWB wannabes... matte colors look the business on them! With the TE-37s and big wings, they become great clones.

For the RUF RGT, the GT3RS combo works wonders... a lot of GTP users use these colors with sucess

Frash Green from Lexus LFA looks exactly like this:

Like I said, making cars inspired by factory or tuner versions is a fun game, once you start, you'll not want to end soon.

Good luck!

Thanks! I might try AMG Alubeam silver from the SLS to try and mimic the singer 911 topgear.com tested.

That gray GT3RS looks amazing!

And you're just like me, everytime a RUF comes up I just can't let it go!

Dangit OP if you'd asked this maybe a while ago i would've sent you a couple more RUF's to play with

Yep, I was almost trying to resist upon a 3400S that just appeared on the UCD.

But... er... bought it! My 4th 3400S, need to do some Boxter research again to see what I'll come up with!

 

[Beeblebrox237]

I want this car! (Singer 911)

 

[diegorborges]

I would pay $10 alone for a Singer DLC.

Damn, they are... PERFECT Porsches.

I'd pay 10 bucks if they converted all the RUF's to premium...

 

[Michelin]

Paint it black and throw some yellow BBS wheels and you got the BlackBird! (Wangan Midnight reference).

 

[MasterLeaf]

Matte Green with GT_Pasteltone (The light purple one) With Comfort Soft Tyres. Drifters have to look obnoxious.

 

[p78]

Yellow is a good color for the Yellowbird.

Man I just got a handle on my RUF mania then I clicked on this thread. I.....need.....more......RUF's......STAT. I have about 30 RUF's as of now. Looks like I'll need more to try every color scheme from RL I can come close to replicating in GT5. Just wish there was some deep dish rim selection.

 

[Crumpet]

Matte Silver - Green looks brilliant on any RUF.

Alright, I've actually done two: one in Botanical Green Metallic (Jaguar XKR) and one in AMG Alubeam Silber (SLS AMG).

See more in my gallery (link in my signature, please comment!)

Good choice, I love that color. Mine is WR blue Mica with the stock wheels on it. Gotta love Blue Yellowbirds.... err, Bluebirds.
