I'm being totally indecisive in colour. I'm locked in on the 11th, and no more changes after that. I originally put order in with Santorini, then changed to Barolo (I considered Mariana but wasn't for me), then back to Santorini (wife made me!), and now its at Corris with Stealth Kit.

I'm possibly thinking now of Carpathian, I saw it in the flesh with Stealth kit and it looked pretty good. But wife thinks its a bit too dark, not enough contrast between Carpathian and stealth, and encouraging me to stick with Corris (and safe the embarrassment of changing the colour for the nth time). So which do you think looks best?

NB Pictures online as always don't seem to do the Carpathian justice, my version below I think is pretty accurate.

Thanks everyone in advance!!

Have you considered Waitomo Grey? Saw one yesterday in the local showroom and while it is a metallic that changes shade, in the showroom it looked almost a solid grey, there is so much fleck in it! Bit darker than Corris and lighter than Carpathian. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Assuming Carpathian is the top one... apparently the new Havana (recently posted 'Best Colour Combination' thread... MY15.5 Fuji White, SDV8 HSE Dyn Stealth Pack
Gone: MY14 Fuji White, 3.0 TDV6 SE
Gone: MY10 Stornoway Grey, 3.0 TDV6

I don't think you would go wrong with either option, ours is Santorini with black wheels and we like it but if I was ordering again I would look at Carpathian as we have had 4 black cars in the last 12 years.

From the photos you have posted, the Carpathian looks mean and the Corris looks class, just my view, in the end its your car and the look you prefer.

Tim is right about Waitomo grey being more flat than metallic,, I have only seem one under showroom lights, it looks OK but last time I saw something that shade of grey it weighed 4000 tonnes and was parked in HM Naval Dockyard, Portsmouth. 2018 MY19 HSE Dynamic, Santorini, Ebony/Ivory, Sliding pano, Adaptive cruise, Black wheels.

Carpathian looks good. For me personally, i like the darkest car with the stealth pack, Thats what stealth is, I dont want the badges to stand out.
Im lucky i dont have this drama with the next one, Im getting another Evoque in the summer, Santorini and black pack. Evoques only list one black paint option. Im super excited about black on black.

I have mine in Carpathian being delivered in early April. I had originally thought about going for a Santorini black roof, but decided that the contrast between the two would be largely unnoticeable.

I must admit, looking at the black wheels in the top photo really does make me wish I had looked at the wheel options a little more on the configurator. What style are they?

Just noticed the larger brake calipers on the rear of the Carpathian car the same as the front! Can these be ordered from the factory, or only on certain models?

They are the 22" option on the stealth pack Jim. From the LR...

Thats a shame, would be a great upgrade, would be nice to have all calipers the same size and finish.

Thanks everyone. I think R310 put it best, Carpathian is sporty and mean, Corris is sporty and classy.

Personally I like both - which isn't helpful to making a decision! Starting to think Corris/Stealth this time, Carpathian/Stealth next time.

We just picked up a Carpathian with stealth. I am really over the moon with it. It does look mean. Corris with stealth also looks great but I felt it was just a bit too light for my liking and also they are far more corris cars about. Personally I don't think you can go far wrong with this car and the only colour combos I don't like are where people have the lighter contrasting roofs on a dark car.

Not great pics as taken on a phone when picking the car up and after parking it at home! Will take some better ones this weekend.
