That looks really nice . I fear a lot of these cars will end up looking like Halford's Specials with bits of random colours everywhere which detract from what actually looks like a fundamentally great design . Not Q , more B and Q ...

I wonder if it looks so good in black because it’s easier to see the bonnet bulge? With the light colours it always seems to make the bonnet look too flat and slabby.

Awesome pic!

Mine is in ultramarine black (looks dark blue in the sun) with no silly colours.

No Carbon either (for me this is overused on both expensive and cheap cars).

I think it will show the shape better and be more subtle.

Beautiful shots, I particularly like the last two because you don't see the front! smile

But that last one emphasizes that incongruous convex curve at the rear bottom of the door. No matter how much I try to ignore it, it draws me back and makes the car look bent upwards in the middle. That curve is just so over exaggerated.

Must admit now we are starting to see a few come through on social media I really do prefer the darker exterior colours. Particularly the black one shown on this thread as it hides or should I say blends the wide shark mouth well.

He's got a long term lone of a pre-production car, one that was at Geneva, I don't think they've even started building the customer orders yet.

I thought (kind of hoped) the new car would start to grow on me, it’s not. I’d like to see a black and carbon one in the flesh....

It will take him ages to get to the South of France at this pace. Everyone including a loaded lorry is overtaking him! smile
