IF I order a TI, what colour? Was thinking white (but if I buy will anyone want it in 3 years), dark grey (too B*W?), or red (water soluble paint?).
WWJD? Or what would you do?

Theyre all good but red is very prone to stone chips etc.
Got the grey myself and no one ever said there goes a BMW
White is a riskier colour, very in vogue at the moment but even then many people wont touch it. When you combine a niche car with a niche colour youre really minimising you potential purchase market for the future....
Would stick with one of the other colours myself.

If you go with white, it would look good with Dark Titanium finish wheels (£360 option 5ER)
..... and no you don't want black.

Well i have had black and tan and now got black and black.
Found the tan leather showed the dirt up too much

Stromboli Grey. The only choice!
Keeps clean longer than black, but isn't rep car silver.
A great compromise.
When I bought mine last year, there were 3 cars in, 2x metallic black, 1x grey. All had simliar mileage, the grey one was much, much better off in the stone chip dept.
Just my thoughts.

Yep, that's the grey I like. It is a sensible choice. Just a slight hankering for that white with dark wheels...!
I wouldn't go for white. You are only seeing it get popular on BMWs and Audis as the owners of them are so desperate to have a car that looks different to every third car that passes (that is invariably another Audi/BMW).
With a 159 you don't have that issue!
Grey, with dark wheels gets my vote.

I am in the same boat as the OP, however who gives a S**t its an Alfa regardless of the colour
P.S. I am hedging for a White 2.0jtd, have had the Carbonio Black on my Spider, am not sure the Stromboli does it for me and am barred from owning any Red cars due to a strange violent dream the Mrs had about a red car!!!!

Black,but take the silver wing mirror covers off,the car looks 100% better all black :thumbs up:
Mine is Stromboli Grey .. which is OK, almost exactly the same colour as my wifes Audi A5 which is a bit scary... I dont really like this colour, but its easy for re-sale... red is the best Alfa colour obviously .. Black cars are nightmare.. white is chav ...
you can see photos of mine on ebay as it is for sale...

Amazing how different everybodys opinion is on this subject but guess its very personal. Just ordered one in white with natural - looks head and shoulders better in the flesh than the other combos mentioned. Red looks good too but think white has the edge and is £500 cheaper. Didn't go for the Titanium colour wheels because they don't match the satin mirror covers. Motorways are full of black & grey cars so my advice is white or Alfa red with Natural!
