Hi Guys,

I been agonising with the configurator for weeks, but now seem to keep coming back to the spec below

Question; As a 54 year old businessman in UK is this colour combination too bright/bling and does it scream Mid Life Crisis? Really conflicted here as its all too easy to pick a black or grey!

Your thoughts?

I’m not commenting on the mid life crisis issue, as clearly we all have those, but for what it’s worth….

I love both colour options but not sure personally I would choose them together. The B Red goes brilliantly with black greys and neutral colours but I think you need a neutral leather with the N Blue. It’s probably the view out of the cabin where it’s more noticeable. This is entirely subjective though and you can’t go wrong if you like it.

I think it will look fine. I am about your age and life is too short to buy an expensive item based on worry about what other people think. Love the red interior.

Yes, I have considered this, but I am concerned that the darker colour will show the dirt more?

I was considering Bordeaux Red with FB too, but decided to go with Slate Grey with FB interior accents. Graphite Blue with Neodyme accents would be awesome too.

Your car, your money, your choice ?

It’s certainly an interesting combination. I agree with most folks here that a different interior would be best with FB. I’m of the opinion that mottos too blingy if you like it. :like:

My recommendation for what it is worth is to go to your nearest dealer and look at as many interior finishes as possible. I changed my mind away from slate grey and all black after seeing them in person and loved the olea brown much more that I thought I would. The monochromatic interior is just that in person though so it kind of depends how you want it to feel inside. Ended up with black and chalk with a mamba green exterior as my wife vetoed the watermelon look. You could look at blackberry and grey with the blue exterior. A little more retro and unique than red and black.

I didn’t go with BR with FB, as I didn’t like the BR two-tone with Black. My brother works for RR, and their interior colour trim team said the Slate Grey with FB accents combo works. However, again do whatever you think works.

I own a frozen blue and slate grey is the only colour, which fits I am afraid. Maybe black or brown, maybe.
Red is just not right, unless it’s the not right look your going for? :)
