Going back to the original post, yes the blue certainly lifts the car and gives it "life", I see where you're going with that. I would add that the claret does do the same as well.

As for the front end, well it has been covered in other topics but I think there is a general agreement that the C-XF concept had the front end many of us were hoping for, and personally I hope they will revert to that when the car gets facelifted in.... 2012?

I'd also like to see the the lower back end being all colour coded.

All personal opinion though.
