D4 Commercial - Exterior Colour
Hi Guys,
New to the forum and hoping to order a D4 SDV Commercial to replace by Audi A4 Avant.
Problem is I can't decide on colour - Originally planed to go for Stornoway Grey with the colour coded wheel arches. Now i am not so sure and think that Silver might be better with the standard black wheel arches and blackened out rear windows. Think it breaks up the paintwork and makes the back of the vehicle not look so huge.
Any opinions or advice greatly appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the forum
I currently have a LR loan vehicle which is in Stornoway with the black ABS arches - once you have 5 posts you will be able to PM me your e-mail addy and I can send you photos...
I have a commercial due to arrive on Friday - I changed my order from Stornoway to Baltic Blue having seen a car version in the local dealers and thought that it looked stunning with a real sense of presence... hope it looks as good with the blacked out windows!
Likewise, happy to provide photos when the new one arrives!D4 Commercial - 65 Plate, 2016MY

Thanks for the advive and pictures guys. I think the black plastic arches look good. The White is awesome and looks very flash - but don't think it would be the best choice for around construction sites. Stornoway grey certainly looks the business though I'd be interested in seeing what the Blue is like. No votes at all for the Silver then - it doesn't seem very popular which surprises me.
