Colour choice... Help is needed - Hetherington - 14-10-2012 12:03pm
SD4 Auto Dynamic LUX
Privacy
Spoiler
Shadow Chrome Alloys
Spare Wheel
Textured Aluminium Trim
Spec sorted but now for the hardest decisions of them all, what colour do I go for exterior and interior. I have narrowed them down to all but two:
Fuji White or Santorini Black? It's my first car so I have got to think practical.
For the interior, I really like the red and black interior however is this going to fade? But then my other option is the lunar? Decisions what ones look best and are practical?
Help is needed

Have a look here.
I'm biased though.

Thank you for help, love the pictures. What's the red interior like to keep clean? Are scratches easily visible on the black?

The red is not a problem, I did have some dye transfer, but I had the leather pre treated/protected. I wiped it clean with GTechniq W2 cleaner.
Touch wood no scratches, but I use a high quality wash mitt, and two bucket wash, the rinse bucket has a dirt guard.

I have a Santorini Black with black/red interior as well. No scratches but I'm sickly careful... Also had some smears on the red part of the leather and my daughter spilled some milk on it which I discovered only a few days after. Wiped it off, not a trace. I also used the Gtechniq Leatherguard.

Sorry I have to disagree, Dynamics HAVE to be white so you can see all the little black bits, the bits that don't sctratch like the rest of a black car! And the inside can only be all black. White doesn't show any scratches or swirls and it isn't that bad at showing dirt, unlike black one that need to be washed at least twice a day to look good.
Good comparison here

White shows up the lines far better
But if you are undecided then you could have this

And I think Orkney Grey is superb, as gives you a metallic finish, contrasts nicely with the black grilletc and the silver of the alloys/bumper. Top it off with a black contrast roof and viola, a stunner which also hides the dirt well

Exactly my color combo, except the fact that it's a 5 door

To be fair my wife made the decision to go for Black, I would happily have bought an Indus, Orkney or Fuji as long as it had Black Contrast Roof.
Tim's Fuji though is prone to roof bulging.

I see a black dynamic every so often doing the school drop off. It does look good(mean and menacing with the sig. Lights). Only problem is you have to spend more time keeping it clean, and it shows the scratches
