Dilemma..

[enzed4]

Sorry if I'm a lone voice in the wilderness, but I just don't understand this fascination with Rhinoceros grey cars :? . It will be near invisible on the road on wet grey days (although you don't have many of them in the UK do you? ) so be prepared to drive with headlights on at all times - good excuse for a halo mod if you don't have them already...
If you're going to spend the money on it, have it look painted, not just primed
(Yes, I know my car's black, so perhaps I'm not qualified to comment on 'colour' )

Go with the High-gloss Grey!!
It looks Sick, different / unique, its a good colour in a world of unimaginatively painted cars.

You could say the same of almost any white/silver/grey/brown/black/dark car!

In the spray on the motorway you can't see any colour - usually just the brake/sidelights.

It needs to be multi-coloured & fluorescent so that it stands out on grey days...so that you look like something out of TRON...

...or you could use the grey/silver paint they use on hi-vis vests...

I don't like this colour of grey either and wonder if it wasn't on a Lambo would anybody actually like it.
It seems to me like a colour that is in fashion at the moment but in a few years people wont touch them with a barge pole.
Remember the strange purple Corsas?

Not a fan of the Grey or the M bumper, :thumbsdown: the Lambo grey looks like something the Royal navy boys float about in/on and the original design of the E85 front looks far better than the M or the face-lift. :?
Only my view but sticking an M front on the car is not dissimilar to sticking M badges on a standard car

Love the grey and black wheels. But then I would like a deep red or maroon roof with that combo . It's up to you though mate . Peter

FemmeT's supercharged Alpina in Lambo Grey was just stunning. Full link here.

That looks loads better than any other Lambo grey car I have seen.
Is that definately the same colour? As it normally looks really flat and boring.

At this rate Mike, the amount you will have spent on a paint job would have you half way to supercharger kit!

I second this!

It's definitely a Lamborghini colour - although it appears that there are a number of different Lambo Greys

My first choice was Grigio Proteus but it was not listed in the paint computer. We found another nice Lamborghini colour (don't know the name) so I decided to use that one. There's a high amount of metallic particles in it which should give a nice effect in the sun.

 

[Peterboroughdave]

Another vote for using the same metallic grey paint as FemmeT, possibly with dark red roof as suggested in another post

Does anyone know what colour that Alpina actually is? Can't see it on the website..

[markeg]

FemmeT's thread on here (link) say's he can't remember the actual code (as Perry quoted above), although his first choice was Grigio Proteus. It will be one of the "Grigio" codes (i.e. Grey), but I can't see a match on here. I think the closest is Grigio Antares?

And...

I've made my decision...

Going for a FULL repaint, in this;
