| 2013 colours.... Was I right or not? |
|
Very happy with my 2013 Lux which has now done 6000 miles in 6 weeks! Aaarghhh! The problem I had with ordering appears to be replicated elsewhere by others on the forum. I ordered it in Causeway grey which is fantastic but darker than I anticipated... At the time of ordering in December there were no cars physical in this colour due to it being a 2013 colour only. The problem I had was other than the 6 inch plastic colour card or the useless 'virtual' image on the website I had no idea what it was going to look like in the flesh..Causeway was finally selected as the easy option but I was sorely tempted to go with the Havana or the Barolo.... Despite now travelling such huge distances I have yet to see a D4 in either of these colours and am still in a position where I don't know whether I made the right decision....
To put me out of my misery and for the benefit of others yet to see one in these colours has anyone purchased one of these that they can photograph and share with us?
I would be very grateful! Regards to all!

never seen it. in the flesh but looks good on ffrr.
even though mine is black I prefere the blue (Buckngham I thnk)
but wish I had bought white..to hide scratches (plenty) and dirt(plenty)
google has lots. of causeway grey pics.
it is quite dark but you dont want battleship grey....or maybe you do.. It is better to have and not need it then need and not have it.

I have Causeway Grey, yes I know what you mean with the other colours but I must admit Causeway is great, just seams to change all the time, looking out of the window she looks black the the light changes and she is grey again, shame the mud on her doesn't disappear as well.

I've seen Havana on the Evoque and it looks fabulous but never seen it on the D4... Certain colours suit certain cars and i toyed long and hard to decide which.. I really fancied the plummy Barolo until I saw it in real life on a RRS and it was jet black and only showed its true colours in bright sunshine which on a slab sided D4 would look totally different...
I would love someone who was braver than me to show us theirs!!! Or maybe not!! I could be totally gutted!
I reckon a Lux with 20 inch wheels in Havana has the potential to be super-duper! Go on be brave give us a flash!

About 4 weeks time a mate is taking delivery of one in Havana. I've seen the colour in the flesh and it looks cracking on the D4
