Yep. Noticed you had VG last time. Are you as satisfied with DS or do you miss VG?
Not missed it for a moment, hard to as I see so many around whereas not seen more than half a dozen DS in the 8 months and 9k miles I've had one. Result! That was a major reason for the change.
Yeah dolomite is such a great colour, doesn’t always show up as nice on the photos but I’m person it’s really catchy

Yeah my main concern is it may look to blacked out with black wheels as well

Crayon seems a good contrast with black wheels

I am not keen on black wheels full stop but we are all different. I think my spec looks good but there will be plenty of people out there who think it looks crap. You are being a little bit rushed into this which may be a good thing, at the end of the day go with your gut.
Not sure what happened above, these are my comments.

Final decision made.

Went with PR81CVJ3

Crayon with extended black leather, carbon interior package
Right choice and definitely suits the coloured side blades. ( The photo here is from your spec code)

I had volcano last time and crayon on my current. Just washed it this afternoon it’s 3 years with 19k miles, no ceramic or PPF just my own body maintenance, claybar’d once and applied sealant twice. No swirls, easy to keep looking fresh as new. Enjoy 👍

At the risk of feeling like I’m el Chappo, I’m swaying towards crayon just now
Make sure you see one in the metal before going Crayon.

Having spent the day in a dealership today while my car was being dealt with, I shall make two observations:

1. Crayon is a weird colour - it looks the same shade as my wife’s white Fiat 500 does when it isn’t clean. Can’t imagine why anyone picks it. Then again I’m not a fan of hearse black on an SUV either.

2. Bordeaux is actually quite nice - darker and more classy than it looks in photos.

When we went to order my Macan there was a Crayon Macan at the OPC , my wife loved the colour and was even happy for me to pay the extra cost. My only comment was that "I wasn't old enough yet , to go around is something "Beige".
