Shockwave will be available very soon as will a replacement for Venom Red. From now on I don't think you can order Blueprint anymore, the last Blueprint cars will be made in the next month or two then it will be replaced by shockwave.

i love the look of mercury silver on XRs.. it shows off the shape really well and looks dark and light at the same time.

boss xr8, how come you say shockwave will replace both venom and blueprint?

bossxr8 · 08-08-2003, 20:24

I meant Shockwave will replace Blueprint and there will also be a replacement for Venom Red.

Oh no, their not getting rid of Venom are they,this colour look's really good, especially on the AU XR's,on a sunny day this colour glow's,I hope their not replacing it with Lucious.

bossxr8 · 08-10-2003, 05:28

Its not Luscious but a new color that will probably be similar to Venom.

galaxy xr8 · 08-10-2003, 05:52

Oh that's allright then, just as long as it's a deep red that glow's and look's just as good as Venom does.

Yes, I couldn't agree with you more.

As for the other colours listed, they will all fade away into history soon. I reckon the strongest colours up for contest are the Liquid & Mecury Silver's, Meteorites (ok they're history now - but something similar), Silhouettes and darker tones of blue. This hothouse green, blood orange (a faded shade of Venom Red IMO), and the other holden based colours will fade way too quickly because they are so in your face as they are now.

Out of all those I could only vote Phantom, as I reckon it'll be the longest lasting production colour of those listed.

As for a replacement for Venom Red, I was reading somewhere the trend for reds would take shade less of a crimson and take on more of a slight blue hue in the formula, so it will retain that deep true red, something for which Venom Red is famous for, for a longer period of time.

I heard the replacement for blueprint will be called and match "true-blue" from dicks old xd! There is also a harvest green out now on the xr's - does not do it for me though.

I really wanted Blood Orange for my XR8, but I believe that with the colour will really standout if you r doing the wrong thing on the road, or parked in a carpark.
I opted for the Merc Sliver as it is quiet then the rest

Its due the 24th Oct
