Urano gray looks good in over cast or in the evening, not so great in direct sunlight , looks like a mix of grey and purple.

I have looked at loads of photos on the internet and have to agree, Urano seems to change its colour dependant on the light, in some photos it looks really dark and others almost leaning toward pure grey.

:grin: :grin: you never previously mentioned a caddy, they look great in all colours! but I'm a caddy fanboy  :grin: Flat white is nice in photos and contrasts really when on the Ed40 but when looking at them in person, I just miss there not having the same deep shine but I am a detailer and spend more time staring at my car than I do driving it!  :whistle:

You're definitely spot on when you say it depends on the make and model of the car, I wouldn't have  tornado red in my old GTD, but it's the only colour for me in a GTI. Golf R or Audi RS4 it has to be Blue!

PS can we see the Mini?  :wink:

I'd agree with that tbf, I had a Fiesta ST in Spirit Blue and that looked incredible after a good polish same with the Mini, the flat white doesn't have the same reflection but unfortunately you can only choose white, red or black in the Clubsport S and the white looks the most special in that car I think. Your 100 on the Golf R, I'd go for Blue in that too, I'm not very loyal to any particular colour apparently  :grin:

Here's the mighty Mini:

Looks good with the blacked out badges tbf, some of those pictures look awful and others look very good, it's strange how it looks like 2 different colours depending on the lighting, If it's grey your after I'd suspect you'll probably like it if you see, awful difficult to decide on something that looks like 2 completely different colours.

There are a few colours on the Mk7 that look different in various light settings. I thought Limestone grey was the mk7 grey colour, until I saw one and it was a light brown, fine, but not for me on a GTi.

You need to see the car in the metal to decide.

I would be surprised if that car does not sell over the w/e with that spec, price & warranty..... if it's still available next week, I suspect it is down to the marmite colour?

Love the Mini  :cool: :drool:





The first Ed40 I ever saw back in 2016 was a Urano grey base spec one (probably leased) being “washed” in a hand wash place in Exeter. I remember posting on here about the shock and horror of the experience!

The actual colour combo looked pretty good in the flesh.

It looks as if the well specced Urano car has been sold? It is no longer advertised on Autotrader.

For the reason, I gave earlier I didn't think it would hang around for sale?

Did the colour work for you in the end Madstaff?
