The colour scheme Topaz and Gold decal set goes well together, but not my cup of tea.
Have had to settle for Estoril Blue.

Unless i've missed one in Europe, then it's the first F31 D3 Bi-turbo touring in Estoril. There is though 1 D3 Allrad in Estoril in Germany.
Nice to be a little bit different.

I've no probs with other models in the same colour, after all my first choice was Havana. Plus most cars sold now-a-days are a variant of either Black, White of Grey (inc Silver). Next time your driving in traffic just look at just how many Black, White and Silver/Grey cars there are... it's like a viewing life in monochrome.

None taken, we all have differing choices when it comes to colour.pete wrote:I have to say it,apologies for any offence ,there was an F30 near me in Estoril and the only word is Naff...honestly.

Alpina Green has always been my favourite, with Gold stripes. If I had the choice, this or Alpina Blue. If you are buying something unique, make it a bit special.

I'm no lover of the Green colour sorry! I speak to folk who rave on about British Racing Green this, Cream & Green that... nothing strikes an accord with me.
Black I like, had a few black cars including my current E91 D3BT and Sierra Cosworth. My previous Escort Cosworth was black as were previous other cars. Silver I like on Merc's but not on BM's.
So with Green ruled out from the off, Black, White and Grey (Silver inc) off the menu is didn't leave a lot of choice. Red we ruled out after we saw an F31 in Red but the Estoril F31 with privacy and shaddowline looked good in our humble opinion.
I do like the Red on the F30 and smaller cars as they carry it off well without too much large swathes of body panels in red.

It's no problem Pete, no offence was taken and I like that each person has their own favourite colour schemes for their cars, it's what makes us all unique and one of humanities best qualities.
The Blue on the M5 looks like Frozen Monte Carlo Blue. Looks and suits the car really well.
Frmo what i've seen, there's very little difference between the standard gloss Monte Carlo Blue and the Estoril Blue. You can see the difference (or lack there of) here;
