This may or may not help but one of my guys at work photoshopped a 110 to Red to help us decide what may be the right colour to replace SWMBO's Firenze Red D4.

I have always refused to have a black car as it’s always dirty unless it’s just been cleaned, I think the exception would be a Defender because they look great and at home dirty. And black looks stunning when clean so great all round.... Cool

Looks great in red too Whistle Ride like you stole it!!
If I’m not on a bike it’s because only a 4x4 will do…

I think black or white go really well with these wheels


Yep the white and black options are good...
This pic of the white one is adding fuel to my wife’s view that’s it’s the way to go.

Colours are erynpersonal. I’m not a fan of black Defenders on those grounds. In the “flesh” I think that black tends to hide the subtle body lines. Also hides the Alpine lights. From childhood experience, when we had a black car, it was always having to be washed. White is great in hot climates reflecting heat whereas black gets unbearably hot. But as Ireland is not renowned for heat In the end for my long awaited p400e it was a toss up between Gondwana and Pangea with the green winning. The one thing I have done is to go for the grey wheels to tone down the appearance a little. With the sunroof and Alpine windows putting a lot of black up top I didn’t think a different coloured roof was worth doing.

Very much personal decisions. Whatever is chosen they are surprisingly good looking vehicles given two-box design and attempts to look a bit utilitarian.

Would be good to see some “heritage” solid colours, Bronze Green would look great.

Good choice TRGRichie.

I went for black, my last Defender was black so decided to stay on (my) trend.

Henry Ford had the right idea Laughing Cheers Simon

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you
