Tash, a lot of this is personal taste - but I give the Fuji white another vote! So as you can see, if this forum was a group of purchasers the majority of us would happily buy a Fuji white from you. A salesperson also told me that females choose white over all other choices (not sure where his info came from!). A clean white vehicle in good condition looks years younger than the equivalent in black in my opinion! Well done!

If you really want to stand out from the crowd then it has to be Colina Lime with a white contrast roof............... so scarce you could be in a group of 1.
I have mainly seen white Evoques although I did see a Firenze white silver contrast roof on the M40 on Wednesday.

I have yet to see ANY Evoques since launch(except on transporters or demo cars).

Have I done the right thing??
P.S has anyone decent picture of a white 5dr with style 6 silver alloys?
This Video will show the car 360 degree..You have made the right decision in colour, as you will see and also, choosing those 20" style 6's as well..

Yes that is more or less what i will be getting and after all my worry about the prestige vs dynamic outside looks, there is something about the side view of the prestige i like more then the dynamic.
mind you i have not seen them side by side yet, i saw my first Evoque in the flesh at my local dealers the other day, and it was a sliver pure. it looked amazing on its own. then the next time i popped in they have a red prestige with style 6 wheels on it. my jaw dropped!
i think they are getting a dynamic next week for their demo car so i will get a drive then as well, i hope i will still feel the same about the prestige when i see the dynamic as thats one aspect of my order i cant change.
oh and my the way are those not style 7 shadow chrome wheels in that video? they look a little dark to me!

I think I know what it is too as I had doubts about the Dynamic side view. It's the bonnet line where it merges into the side vent which looks like there is a step or poor panel alignment along the top of the vent that you don't see so easily on the Prestige. I can assure you it is an optical illusion, the panels are perfectly aligned on my car

Tim, when I was at the Geneva Motor Show this year the 1st Evoque I saw was a Dynamic in Colima Lime with a black contrast roof and wheels and it was absolutely jaw dropingly stunning in real life, it had the Dynamic Plus seats to finish it off...looked matt under the exhibition lighting, in the street I'm sure it would look completely different and come resale time I am sure you'd take an absolute hammering as it is more specialist.

i first made the decision to get a prestige a while back, and at that point there were only 2 videos available to get an idea of the styling, and after looking at them over and over.
even though i loved the front end look of the dynamic, it was the prestige that looked more striking to me. some how the extra black plastic trim makes the wheels look larger and lift the whole car of the ground giving it more of a chunky 4x4 look, while the dynamic came across as a over sized mini.
i don't mean to offend anyone by saying that, and as i have said i still have yet to see them both side by side.
then again my mind changed when i started seeing photos of the OG dynamic but thats another story.
these were the videos i was referring to:
prestige:
dynamic:

Thank's for all the replies, car is a company car on lease so resale isn't an issue.
Just wasn't sure if it would be to showy in white.

Maybe, but i'm sure you get a good view, of what you have ordered..
i've ordered almost the same.
