Grey grey or white?
Hi all, great site and debate!
I am almost ready to order a new discovery. My budget just about stretches to an se tech and I want a black pack.
I am reading loads of your threads, and most greys are Corris, which looks fantastic, but I absolutely love the look of Scotia grey. The dealer wasn't too impressed, and recommended Corris, but the more I see - albeit on line, the more I love it, but worry about resale...
The other dilemma is that I love the white with the black pack, but feel it is a little too 'blingy' and 'hip hop'! Would this be too extreme and one I'd regret...
I have bored my wife senseless with my pointless dilemma, and now would love to do the same to whoever is out there...

You say you love (not just like) Scotia, then that's the colour to go for.
Why take a colour that others like when it's your car and you're not too sure, it's your choice.
I'm sure Scotia and black pack will look the business.
Just go for it.

I'd go with the flow, corris grey and the black pack. White makes it look like a fridge... Although have you thought about the red with the black pack....?

Corris appears 8)
White is striking and also 8) everyone will see it and stands out more IMO
Personally ...... red is different D4 Front upgrade/cut back wings n things 'taking a long time but getting there'.
D4 rear upgrade - Narpys helped with that bit
Flack for problem solving and D4 Bluetooth Install/ D4 Heated Steering wheel with Flappy paddles n BBS enabling kit
Disco Mikeys work - Serviced, EGR blanking and 4x4 software upgrade, 3 flash indicators.

Thanks for the messages and for confusing the issue further...
I guess it is all down to what grabs you as ultimately every colour looks amazing - it's a cracking car!!
With a black pack red also looks too cool...
I think it's now down to Scotia or white - for now anyway...
Or indus silver?????

pleased with my Corris Grey... went up to Crewe yesterday in torrential rain and looking at the D4 on the drive it still looks clean
hopefully i'll only have to wash it every 16k miles or 12 months, whichever comes first Duncan
