It was available when I had initial spec discussion but not when I did lock down. About a six month wait when it was available.

The configurator accepted it last week so could be worth a chat with your SE.

From what I remember, it's a £3K option and a longer wait.
My understanding too - and I am not paying £3k for a colour that should be available from the standard (extra cost) pallet...

Another grey it is - or silver....

Indecisive, me?

My biggest disappointment is the exterior colours - ideally I would have a rich metallic red (ruby red in BMW individual or Fusion Red in the new XC60) , with a nice Agate Grey interior. Given the poor options, I've worked backwards from what I wont have to see what is left! Not white or black - too much like hard work to look after, not red - I reserve that for smaller sportier cars, Sapphire is a bit bright for me - so Silver or Grey. Volcano looks a bit dark and half my cars seem to have been silver so Agate for a change - plus the one in Porsche Mayfair looked very good....
I'll be wrapping mine, gives you a much wider choice of colours and protects the original paintwork.

I'll post a few pictures when done to horrify / delight everyone!

What are your latest thoughts on your choice of wrap colour, Tim? Was green mentioned previously? :mrgreen:

Out of interest (and ignorance), how much does it cost to wrap a car?

A whole car wrapped in PPF is about £5k.

People often just do the front and normal paint detailing for the rest - that is much cheaper, around £2k.

The wrapping that Tim is planning is to change the colour of the (whole) car. :geek:
