looks nice clean and shiny but will be very very annoying seeing all the swirl marks on it. only thing that's put me off metallic/pearl colours.

Don't worry... It'll look the nuts, regardless of colour. That carbon grey looks great in those pics but I've seen pics of white look as good if not better!

This probably the main reason why I wanted to stay away from darker colours this time. You can spend ages washing it and taking care over it but notice every little imperfection.  :angry:

Wowza!!!  :cool: Carbon Grey would definitely be my second choice..... But maybe it's a visual trick of the mind? Maybe it's the 19" wheels that's making it more visually appealing?? Or maybe it's both?? Nice combo whatever the case maybe....

This is my first post on here.  Absolutely delighted to see these pictures in Carbon grey with the Santiagos as this is the combo I've gone for on my GTD.  Chuffed with my choice now!  :smiley:

The wheels look awesome, and the Grey looks the nuts I have to say.  I would have been tempted by that colour.

That grey is a temptng colour, I didn't condier it as it wasn't on the configurator at my time of ordering. If I really wanted to change given my latest order bump i'm sure I could do it without affecting my order negatively. Best metallic shade IMO (2nd being DPB). I would have to go and see one in the flesh to be tempted to change, right next to a TR one.
