Choosing a colour??
- Thread starter ZBOYD
- Start date
When we went to order our car we had full intention of ordering another white one. But after seeing both shades of white and an Emocion red standing next to each other we agreed it had to be the red. My advice is to see both in the metal and in good light. I agree that the titanium pack would be lost on the grey car.
Thats the first time I have seen the Monsant Red in the flesh so to speak!!! That is the colour I have ordered and I like the pic!! Do like the CG red!!! Not a fan of emocion red as a bit bright for me. Think the LEDs may give it a bit more presence but I will be happy with that colour!! (and not many of them!!)

Monsoon Grey for me, Nevada White is a nice colour and was my other preference but in the end decided that white is the new silver, if you get my meaning.
I'm taking delivery of my new 1.4TSi FR tomorrow and not seen many pics in Monsoon Grey so will post a few in the next few days.

Are you getting the SC or 5 door? I've got a 1.4 FR SC in Monsoon Grey arriving late Sep/early Oct

Went for the 5 door as need the room/access, although I do think that the SC is slightly better looking. Ordered in late June and could have taken delivery at the start of this week, so only 9-10 weeks from order to getting my hands on it so quite chuffed with that.
I ordered a couple of weeks after you, so I'm hoping I'll have mine soon - I went for the 18" wheels which delays things a little apparently.
I agree - the sunroof and Titanium Pack definitely look better on the white.
Did they give you any indication of how long delivery will take?
Well 10+ weeks is the current estimate, but I'm in no hurry. I've got no part-ex to worry about and have the use of another car when required.
Grey
I liked both colours, thats why it was hard to choose.
But in the end it came down to the fact the white just works better with the options and the fact I've never had a white car. Where as I've had grey before, so its a bit of variety.
As m0rk just said to me, i'll be avoiding newly surfaced roads, muddy puddles and avoiding swarms of flies.
But I've had a black car, so I've obviously some masochistic tendencies when it comes to cleaning cars.

I ordered 8 weeks ago and I've been told the build week is w/c 16th Sep, and I didn't go for a sunroof which I've heard adds about 4 weeks to the build time.
Yep its what I'm expecting, without roof was 8-10 weeks, could be as much as 16weeks, but I'm comfortable with the wait because its what I want.
