Great, one more in the grey camp......

AMG used to be an external company (like Brabus still is) - complete cars come from the factory - usually on 16" steel wheels they look very strange - and then AMG or Brabus strip the cars down, do their magic and rebuild them. If they change the colour they do it on a completed car - minus engine and wheels.

Designo is an house service, so cars go through the normal build process apart from the bit you change. So the body shell is painted before any components are added - as with the standard car - Individual and Autobiography are the same. My garage used to comment that it was the best built Mercedes they had ever seen and the paintwork was beautiful.

Charlie, take a look at this video . Jaguar in lunar(Orkney) grey & tell me it's not a great colour. Sorry about the music.....

Lovely Jag too. Have you ordered that colour?

The cheesy music made it

Sorry just seen your signature. Did seeing the element interior at the NEC make your mind up, I know like me you were worried it was a bit light.

Yes,the wife never wanted the cirrus & after seeing it in the full leather, have changed to black interior. With two kids 2 & 5 the light colour interior would be a joke.
