Good news for some - means we can shift our white cars at top price to the essex boys when its time to move on  RRS 3.0D HSE 11MY - Fuji White, a few extras.

Oh dear, I've not read the article, but I can guess from chesterfields comments the drift of it

Edit: just read the article in the paper on the way home. I struggle to see why people would buy based on some morons from a :cénsored: tv series. Is it not dealers instigating this? I was offered 3 x white MY12 RRS's by dealers when looking for mine.....and no not all the dealers were in Essex  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

I believe from some dealers (non RR/LR) one reason for white is that you don't pay extrea for white in comparison to metallic on BMW/Audi hence the uptake for this fashion.


My neighbour has a q7 in white and to be honest it looks pretty smart in this colour.

As an aside noticed that for MY12 Metallic is now an extra where if i remember right it used to be a no cost extra on LR products at HSE spec ? 2011 MY- RRS HSE - Zermatt -Ebony-Piano .... its a monochrome world

Having had a bodyshop take seven weeks to match the pearlescent yellow on the Datsun of mine, I went for white on the RRS as its flat, and should it get scuffed when I eventually take it off road, my theory is it will be cheaper and easier to match

Thats the theory anyway  RRS 3.0D HSE 11MY - Fuji White, a few extras.

Seen a 2010 RRS in Fuji and it looked wrong IMHO, seen a Q5 in White and it looked good, i have a relative with a S5 in white it looks great, my M3 is white looks great

Some cars suit it, some don't and i personally think the RRS is the latter, the Evoque looks amazing in white and that is what we are about to order.

talking about white cars reminded me about how ace the paris motorshow was when the M stand was totally white ..Z4MC, Z4MR and M5

but not for me on RRS 2011 MY- RRS HSE - Zermatt -Ebony-Piano .... its a monochrome world

Sorry Chesterfield!

Having also an white car which got is scratched, i was looking for a good paint job.
But having talked to several paint shops, they all agreed that when repainting,
the White colour is the more difficult olour to match...

sometimes we must do what is required.

The wifes is also a 120d auto which now comes with a flappy paddle box....I actually prefer it to the Disco if I ever get to grab the keys, it's making me wonder if I still need a 4x4
I might even take an XF for a test run soon to see if I can live with a normal car!

RRS S/C factory built HST - Gone

45 others have been and gone!

My brother and I had two XF-S, both were lemons. Mine ended up in solicitors letters due to it never being painted correctly - JLR washed their hands of it, and the dealer had three goes at repairing it and couldnt. Brothers popped off fuel hoses within 24 hours of owning it, then two weeks later filled with smoke. Mine also saw turbo faults and electrical faults.

Worst ownership experience of any car , ever. And that includes a £300 tin box from the motor auctions a few years ago.

Althugh made by JLR, the RRS seems a lot better from the off, and my experience from the dealers is top too. I will however never buy a jaguar again.

The day we went to see them being built in the factory they told us there was one robot on the whole assembly line - the one which puts the sealant round the windscreen before it is fitted. During our tour, that single robot was broken down. Should have been a sign in hindsight. They were also on 4 day weeks when we visited, and it was Thursday afternoon - meaning we technically had Friday afternoon specials

I love my RRS in white, I think the black and white look goes quite well on the RRS imho. I wasnt set on any colur in particular. A deal came up on this one, it happened to be white and I wasnt put off by it, so thats what we got. Ive had bodyshops say that white is easier, but thats when I was having a different colour sprayed at the time.

I guess body shops will always tell you your colour is garder to match than another. Its the painters equivalent of the mechanics teeth sucking  RRS 3.0D HSE 11MY - Fuji White, a few extras.

Have to disagree with you Chris.. many compliment on the Fuji, and to be honest i prefer it to my old Zermatt
Then again we get sunshine here in Oz so maybe that makes a lot of difference.. it looks so much brighter than
in blighty! I can only assume it is just dull and grey where you are  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under
