By popular request (OK, just one person), I've attached some pictures of my new G15. Taken outside Foliejon Park, Windsor.

One of the pictures was taken 1 cm from the surface of the car, and in the image you can see out-of-focus flecks of green, orange and red. These are actually below the top layer, and not just refractive artefacts of the paint. I think this is why the Dravit grey changes shade in different lighting conditions. Anyhow, a lovely Sunday morning in the UK to be out and about.

Very nice, you went with the gloss black wheels. I'm with the others. The colour is super and I'm really glad I went with it.

I think these cars look great regardless of the final colour, spec and options. I was really torn between several paint colours, interiors and wheels. Needed my wife to help close down on them. I suspect that I should have got the carbon package, but I had to make a decision and stick with it. I do wonder of the black wheels are a little clichéd, but hell, you've got to go with what you like.

They still have one on display on the ramp outside the dealership, but I'm not sure this one made it outside before I picked it up. They also have an amazing sunset orange model inside the showroom.

Sytner Maidenhead did a great job. This is the 4th car I've bought from them.

Oh wow. That is really amazing. I got spanked for suggesting a red interior, so for the sake of domestic bliss I backed out and went for the dark blue. I got to say the red is better. Amazing.

My X6 was red, but the Dakota leather, as you know, is not as good.

PS: Don't forget do not lift the wipers until you have engaged them via the wiper stalk into the parking position. I've put some clear tape under the bonnet where they could impact on the paint in case some moron decides to help at sometime!
