Do you like Stornoway Grey then? Very nice though. How come the wife gets her car first?
I've been looking at a Stornoway Grey RRS, but I'd still prefer Black as my first choice. Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!

Russben, Grey is much better on RRS, although the RRS Autobiography in Black in Hunters showroom looks gorgeous, its eye watering £70k price tag made me get put and close the door gently

If my numbers come up it will be a Firenze Red RRS, privacy glass and 5 spoke alloys, nothing OTT.

You know what they say Russ ladies first,
stornoway gray,, is there any other colour to have ? Black in the BR looked a bit plain IMO BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders
The wanna be other half - http://www.freel2.com/forum/member-carriec.html

I thought Stornaway grey was discontinued? Isn't it Orkney Grey?

Orkney Grey very similar to Stornaway
looks bronze at night with the street lights BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

Yes, it takes me a while to work out which colour people's FL2's are I think Stornaway grey was discontinued due to the Japanese tsunami along with Lago grey and Bali blue (maybe more?).

No Stornoway was still around after the tsunami, it's the colours that became scarce as it was the pigment of the colour that was hard to get hold of. Any shade of gray, and black and white were easy as my parents wanted a Rimini FL but couldn't get one for love nor money  Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

Got my facts wrong. The letter said that Santorini black would be discontinued, how come you can get it on FL2's today?

Also Borolo and Havana albeit at a silly premium. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Hmm. Still prefer santorini black. Looks fabulous when its clean & in the sun. Ok, poor argument really after looking outside.

I must admit I'm not keen on the Autobiography. I don't like the bright aluminium strip under the front bumper. If I had one I'd have to get it powder-coated grey or black to tone the front end down a bit. Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!
