New car colour
I am really undecided about the colour of my new car.
Can't decide between Mineral White and Space Grey. Any thoughts? |

Toss a coin.
If you feel the need to toss again .... You don't like the first colour. D.

I've just bought a mineral white car and like the way to pearl changes in different light.
One thing with white cars, you don't get that real depth of shine, you do with most other colours. So if you someone who's into cleaning your car and like to wax it regularly, you might miss that with white. I think it also depend a great deal on what car you are buying, some look great in white, some like a rental car. |

I've got another decision! I have ordered it with black leather. I prefer red but couldn't convince the wife. I'm now wondering whether to go out on a limb and just go for red. I think that it looks fab from outside but am worried that it might be too bright/tarty in the inside.
Most Mineral White AUC cars seem to have red leather so at least black would be different. |

Mineral White every single day.
And if it was me, regardless of what the wifey say's, it would be red leather too (anything, anything but black for me!). White with red....DO IT What car is this for (I'm sure you've written about it but I've either forgotten or missed it)? |

I had Space Grey and red. Loved it. Don't listen to the boring brigade who moan that it will be a bugger come resale...just go for it! White on red will look superb!

Goes well with white.

She's got two legs I assume, or what about a bike?
