Thing is it seems to change colour all the time anyone else notice this?? Neutral


Her Ladyship has Ipanema Sand and I can positively say from experience that the body colour does go through subtle changes in hue as the ambient air temperature changes. The car's body panels on a sunny July in Spain were a very different shade to that in January high in these sunny Swiss mountains.

Maybe a paint technologist will come along and explain why this would be so.

A shade too dark. Stornoway FTW Mr. Green

Almost as stress free when it comes to scratches as silver but not too dark like the Lago or Black.

Galway Green is nice though. I saw a blue FL2 the other day, a rare sight around here at least. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

United Kingdom 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Bali Blue

i have seen a couple of photos of the green and it looks nice but would reserve judgement until seeing one in the flesh! My Bali Blue is still super exclusive though - since owning it since March I have seen only ONE other!

At the end of the day - you pick the colour you like, its everyone else with the problem Whistle

2010 Freelander 2 TD4_e S Manual Stornoway Grey

Everyone should just face the fact that Stornoway Grey is far and away the best colour for the FL2. Classy without being too dark, not too silvery as to be common as muck, looks cool splattered in mud and won't date. End of.

Galway Green looks really good Annie. I like the blues, your green and, of course, my Rimini Red! Far better than all those greys and b***k. Lets not mention the white! 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

As always the colour war will always flare up again whenever any reference to colour is mentioned. Strange though that a load of MEN (mostly) are so preoccupied with colour Shocked Thought that was more a women’s thing Confused

However if the squabbling was over which model you had and what extra goodies you had fitted, then that would be more of a MANS thing surely Question

Colour popularity has nothing to do with “the best colour” either, it is all to do with self preference and investment sensibility. For example if metallic colours suddenly became very unpopular on the second hand market and sold for much less than non-metallic, how many would stay clear of metallic and how many would buy what they liked Question 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Apart from Land Rover cars, there are not many Silver ones, looking as though it is cast from a single aluminium billet, gives it a presence too.
Best colour really, it's why the factory ones are this colour....nuff said

I find 180 degrees in the opposite direction to be the best, it was painstaking research but well worth the effort Thumbs Up


Thank you, Annie, no not too many in Silver, this is my first, was a little apprehensive at order, though very pleased with the result.
