Really making me want to change from black to white!

I have to say those pics, along with that 9 minute video posted a day or so ago, really made me think about changing to Onyx White - just an amazing colour!

Looking absolutely gorgeous, definitely the right choice to go white with this car - either pure or oryx! :laugh:

Yes, the colour can be changed, this will have to be the last thing to change

Colour changed to Onyx now.  Can't be bothering my dealer with any more changes now!

Still not sure if I made the right choice, that colour is a seriously expensive option, I mean - paint that costs the same as the performance upgrades!

But feeling good about it!

You won't regret it mate. I showed about 5 friends both the carbon steel grey and oryx white colour videos and everyone said oryx white.

It is a lot of money no doubt. But think of it as another £430 not £930 cos you were going for a metallic paint anyway.

Have a look at a close up

Well it will certainly assure you a bit of exclusivity, as I can't see many people popping a grand for paint work. Fair plays to you.

Actually I am trying to think of it as more or less free as I removed Winter pack last week.  So cost increase is not going to be that much overall.

That close up shot looks amazing.  I am fully excited now.
