Anyone wish they'd ordered another colour ?
I'm such a woman lol
I ordered black, then white, then sumatra then changed my mind & ordered rising blue...
I absolutely love the look of rising blue but every time I see Viper Green part of me wished I'd ordered that instead
How about you lot... any regrets ?

Re: Anyone wish they'd ordered another colour ?
I always wanted balck and went to the ends of the world to get one... well Oldham actually but from Surrey was a fair stretch. I could have got clser, I could have got cheaper but I was dead set on black and I love it. Now as I have not yet seen another on the road round my way since first test driving one in October I am getting a little scared that I might be secretly building some closet regrets for a opal silver, rising blue or even (dare I say it) a white one.... I promised myself many years ago I would never ever think that after the old man had a lovely flat white sierra estate... it was hideous

How often have you seen a Viper Green??? Or are you talking about the photos...?shooms wrote: I absolutely love the look of rising blue but every time I see Viper Green part of me wished I'd ordered that instead

When I first saw the Viper Green in the show room recently I loved it, and yes I thought to myself now that is the sort of colour the car deserves, but then would I actually have the guts to drive one is another matter...

Re: Anyone wish they'd ordered another colour ?
I've wanted a blue car for such a long time so I'm really happy with it. Having said that though, I've only spotted one other colour on the road, Stan_blade's white one and that was only for a second or two. I've seen silver and black in the showroom and I'm still happy with my first choice.
Re: Anyone wish they'd ordered another colour ?
Gotta admit I had a couple of sleepless nights about ordering Sumatra. Now it's here I absolutely love it - looks fantastic with the truffle leather too
I've posted some pics to the delivery room, take a look: http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/ ... =13&t=1204

Re: Anyone wish they'd ordered another colour ?
I ve ordered mine in black and i had a change of mind a couple of weeks ago and really fancied the white. The stealer wouldnt let me change it though as mine had gone to "build confirmed".
The only way round it would have been to cancel my order and replace it for a new one but this would have added 4 weeks on and an additional £900 quid on to my order (as it was after the price rise by then). Needless to say im sticking with Black which im now glad of again.
Wish they would blimin hurry up and build it though!

Re: Anyone wish they'd ordered another colour ?
had a dream the other night that i was arguing with the dealer, i wanted to swap my rising blue for a sumatra! I was saying that because the wipers sometimes smear then the vehicle wasn't fit for purpose and i demanded a new car!!! Hand on heart, i think i'd like a sumatra with truffle.......

Re: Anyone wish they'd ordered another colour ?
Saw a white one covered in the local agriculture - not tempted.
If they ever bring out a 4 wheel drive version, I might be tempted into a viper one though

Re: Anyone wish they'd ordered another colour ?
The only other colour I would have had is Sumatra. But. As I suspect like a few others on here when I ordered mine at the end of July last year I took a gamble that all the pictures on the net I had seen were actually Rising Blue and not some Never to be seen again colour as Firespark has turned out to be and ordered the car with blind faith that it was the same blue..
It was. Thank God ! and I don't regret my choice one bit..

Re: Anyone wish they'd ordered another colour ?
my last choice on the list was opal silver i hated it on the website car builder thingy, but not wanting to wait 3 months i agreed to a opal silver the only car i could get from stock i had a few sleepless nights wondering what id done but after seeing it in the flesh i love it now, another customer that had ordered reflex changed his order to opal after seeing mine in the compound, but deep down id go reflex

Re: Anyone wish they'd ordered another colour ?
I had originally ordered a Black with Pano roof, then because of the Xenons delay I got the exact same spec in White (without Xenons)
I'm more than happy with my choice knowing what I know now I would order it in White again - however because the Pano roof breaks up the White and sets a nice contrast if I wasn't getting the Pano roof I may have been leaning more towards the Black or Sumatra with Truffle leather instead of Black.

Re: Anyone wish they'd ordered another colour ?
Was between White and Sumatra.
Liked the lines of the car more in white and was afraid of the sumatracolour in the sun ( not having seen it in the "flesh").
But now driving it for a week, i'm loving every second of it and wouldnot change it !
