Factory Update

[stas]

Visited the factory to choose new colour for bodywork
and trim. Settled for Topaz Blue(there are three shades)apparently , and Portland Grey/Flint for the
trim. So while I was there Ray Weidling (Shop floor
head Chappy) Twisted my arm to upgrade to 18" Spider,
with the Front and rear light conversions.(nice man)
So after nice cup of tea /Bicis( thanks to Lesley
lovely Receptionist) I had a to have a look around.
did'nt I ?....
mmmmmmm! very nice......mmmmm ! a must for every one!

No Stas had the misfortune of vandalism...wrecked the car inside and out!....


Glad to hear there are no probs with the insurance sorting things out and of course the very wise choice of BLUE...

Well, Blue from some angles and Purple from
other ( still smirking )

[Rappa]

Now we are talking as Purple is the new blue and red.

Now obviously its down to personal taste but why do almost all Cerbs produced or retrimmed in the last 2 or 3 years end up with grey bloody interiors?

If you look around at the nearly new cars on dealer forecourts I reckon about 75% have Portland Grey somewhere in the spec.

I just dont understand it, they will trim with purple whaleskin if you spec it so why the almost obsession with grey?

I'm sure it will look lovely and all, no offence intended

[arcbeer]

Grey is a good compromise and shows off the interior to its best in my opinion. If it's too dark the cabin feels really small and oppressive, if it's too light every speck of dirt and crack of leather shows up.

I'm with you on that one plotloss, grey can look all too like a bimmer, audi, jag, whatever....personally i like my claret and cream just fine...not everybodies taste i realise

[davidd]

My car has a biscuit interior, handy really as it means I never go hungry...

boom boom,

Actually not a colour I would have ever chosen but I think it works really well, makes the car feel warm if that makes sense...
