^^^ Well if he would be so kind to order it in yellow so that I can buy it off him then, that'd be marvellous.
You mean after I'd have lost ALL the £10k it costs?!?!?
Really ****ing annoying that it costs so much because THAT really is the colour.
BenzedUP said:Yellow? Looks crap imo., didn't even know it cost 10k as I never really considered that colour. My original colour was designo diamond white but after seeming a magno GTS in the S.France I had to amend my order as it looked incredible. Can't wait to get mine.
I don't think he was implying you have more money than sense, I think he was suggesting you would be stupid to buy such an expensive car and not have it in a colour you like.
So, I'm buying a red one. Fire Opal red, with the leather/alcantara interior, red stitching and red seatbelts. Job done, and I've saved (or rather not spent) £1k+ by going for one of only two free paint options.
Fire Opal red
Mmm, well.....I appear to have attracted some (unnecessary) insults about money and sense. So to be clear - just because I don't really 'love' any of the colours (i.e. none of them really stand out, not even the yellow if I'm being really honest) does not mean I don't want the car. What an odd thing to imply stumpy??
My dealer have been very helpful and understanding, including looking into whether I could get the Designo department at the factory to have it painted in the colour I really wanted - the metallic Le Mans red from the SLS. Unfortunately it's not to be as it's apparently a discontinued colour. And I suspect it would've delayed built beyond what I would be prepared to wait.
Anyway, decision made and spec is fully locked down. No going back. I always wanted a red one. I thought the metallic red would be the nicest option. It isn't. As you can see, I've tried to convince myself of other colours but I just can't - I still want a red one![]()

Sorry Andrew if I have offended you as I am not suggesting that you fit that profile in any way. The point I am making is that it is often implied that people who spend such a lot of money on paint are mugs (fools and their money etc). Personally I find it odd to spend such a lot of money on a car and not have it how you want it. After all, you spent a lot of time and money getting your SLS how you wanted it.
There are many more examples of things that I don't personally understand. Porsche charge 200 quid to have your key painted the same colour as your car. I wouldn't but many people do. Rolls Royce want 100k to personalise your seatbelts. I didn't tick that box either.
If not spending money on options is so important we can save ourselves a fortune and not buy the car in the first place. A few cottoned on to my point and I am sorry once again that you didn't.
