Help! Colour panic
« on: 16 July 2013, 00:23 »
Ok I am having my first big 2 nd thought since ordering !

Watched the tv ad with the white car in Vegas with sunroof and admit it looks fab.  I have ordered carbon which I think will look " classically cool " without being too much notice me -  like cars understated and have to park on the street - but the white looks really good.

My other dilemma with white is if it will go out of fashion in5 years time whereas carbon grey will probably look smart whatever..

Someone help me.. Stick or twist !

Id stick with your initial choice man!  I love the white, but the CSG is great too.

You just want to keep the white numbers down  :wink:

I must admit only 3 colors were on my short list.. Red, no cost extra, carbon grey, looks cool and timeless.. White, launch colour and suits the sunroof a lot..

Oh the dilemma

Damn just watched a vid on YouTube, tornado red with the pano roof also looks cool but my current bmw is red so really need to change !

I think if I saw a carbon grey with pano roof it would convince me I chose well ! Hoping there will be just enough contrast between grey and the roof..

Stick! Pictures in this thread will help put your mind at rest that you've chosen a great colour. Also, if you change your mind on colour, you'll be playing the waiting game for longer.

That looks like Limestone Grey. Carbon Grey is quite a bit darker.
