Color of new D4 - can't decide!!!
Hello All,
Need help!!!!
Can't decide between D4 in Santorini Black with Almond Interior, or Stornaway Grey with Ebony Interior????
We will tint whichever one we get. We have an 11 month old, and will eventually have a dog.
Help
Owners - pros and cons??
thanks

You'll get all the silver owners telling you taht silver is the way to go as it doesn't need cleaning etc, but if you want to stand out from the daily humdrum, then there is nothing better than santorini black Bodsys Brake Bible

Grey appears to be the new silver - there are a lot of them about
Agree about the cleaning bit - My previous black car looked 8) ... when it was clean - which was for about 5 minutes after it was washed Grey/Silver also don't seem to show scratches, chips etc as badly as the darker colours.
IMO the D4 looks lovely in most of the dark colours but in the end practicality won and it was grey with black interior - three (sadly now two ) dogs can turn a light colour dark very quickly
I think it still looks 8)

Each time I have chosen a colour other than black (rarely), I have regretted it.The older I get, the better I was.

don't get black - you lose the profile of the third quarter window and then the 'van like' question occursSteve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

You'll still have to choose between Almond with Nutmeg or Almond with Arabica...
Personally, I would love to see them offer 100% Arabica as an option and possibly even paint to sample but as they can't even appear to get the 'Build & Price' function working on their website, it's a small miracle that they can actually produce the blessed vehicles!

Oh you poor misguided people, everyone knows that Galway Green with the Almond/Arabica combo is God's work surely?!?
Seriously, it's such a great vehicle, it doesn't matter what colour you get, you'll not be disappionted. 1996 D1 (Legendary workhorse) - now KIA

You shouldn't forget about Nara Bronz (my wife choice ) and black leather interior (my choice as two small devills on board )

I've opted for Bali Blue with almond/nutmeg interior. Can't tell you what the combination really looks like as it won't be ready until the end of April.
