Not much chance of that if you are in Cambridgeshire. 

Think I might try to arrange to meet up with some of the local buyers when they start getting delivered as there are quite a few round my way on here.  We can compare cars, take photos etc.

I changed my order from Oryx white to Pure White after seeing the sample in good sunlight.. and thinking "Ooooh... Sparkerleeeeey!" (I almost dropped my Chihuahua complete with matching accessories in the excitement)

It was too much like the odd pearl white Toyota use for my liking. More to the point, in low light... it looks like (in my opinion) a dirty white... So changed it to Pure White, would rather have a flat paint I can seal and get a really deep shine to. But, a friend of mine loves it and has ordered with it. As I've said before I think it's a real love or hate colour finish.

I have to disagree here. I think it's a fantastic white. And I love the fact that it looks a matt white in low light. Hell I might even change my colour again. Oh man!

And why oh why am I beginning to like the 3 door oryx white more than the 5 door?!

That's just it, it doesn't look a matt white in low light, it looks like off white with gold bits on it. But yeah go for the three door! you know you want to!  :smiley:

  • Go white, or go home!
I have to agree, really not keen on the oryx white.  Much prefer the brighter, flat pure white.

Now, if I were going to go for black, it would be deep pearl all the way!
