I much prefer the sliding pan roof

I've got Carpathian Grey and black contrast roof and happy with my choice, only downside is will be hard to keep swirls off the black trim if my Evoque was anything to go by.

Got it Gtechniq detailed a couple of weeks ago which should hopefully help.

Looks great with those wheels.  SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Thsnks, they are the style 514 machine polished alloys, not seen them on any other cars so went for them as something different.

Got to sell the style 6/504 wheels the car was delivered on now, may be tricky as seems to be plenty knocking about on eBay.

I know this is an old thread but wanted to add a picture of a MY18 RRS in Carpathian Grey that I saw today with the contrast roof just to add to the collection ...

I personally prefer Corris over carp as find this too dark - it's almost black...plus the £800+ you save by going with Corris lets you spend that on something like better wheels which make the car look nicer or a reverse camera or maybe even massage seats or HUD all in IMHO.

That is a beautiful looking car you have!

Funnily enough I saw a RRS in Corris Grey last weekend up close and really liked it but now I've seen this Carpathian Grey one I can't get the thing out of my mind.

Maybe need to go see a few more colours. Or a doctor

I like Carpathian - but I can't even tell whether those cars in the pictures above have the black contrast roof or not (other than the one that's just been detailed), so I wouldn't be bothered either way. I agree about the fixed panoramic roof being nicer than sliding due to the thick black partition.

Mine is Carpathian, with a sliding panoramic roof (not black). It had already been spec'd up and cancelled when I bought it (with a five figure discount). RRS MY17 SDV6 AB
Evoque MY17 TD4 AB

Not easy to pic out in pics (bar the one above just detailed which looks stunning BTW) but in the flesh I just love this colour.

Have just placed an order for one that should be available in 2 weeks time (cancelled order) that pretty much ticked every option box + a few others so fingers crossed it goes swimmingly, got a decent discount.

No SVR then Kismet ? SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Ha, not this time mate! I couldn't resist, the spec on this one is fantastic and I'd rather have a new vehicle now than wait 5-7 months (maybe more with the inevitable delays) and enjoy it.

Put the initial deposit down just now, will no doubt bore you all with the full gory details soon.

Hopefully have this for 3 years then look at switching up to the incoming RRS3 SVR ...

Hi all,

Joined the site, been lurking for a few weeks....

I bit the bullet and ordered a RRS, chosen the Carpathian Grey but undecided whether to go for the Body coloured full size sliding panoramic roof.... or the Black Contrast full size sliding panoramic roof....

I tried a search on this Site & Google for photos but didnt manage to find anything decent...

Does anyone have this Colourway with photos?

Cheers

Congrats - looks amazing..I really wanted a Corris or Carp...ended up with a Barolo Black...due to spec and price of car and the wife !!!

Will share pics when I collect in a few weeks.

Just had my annual maintenance detail after just over a year. Gtechniq has done its job, car is pretty much as new again now and had no issues with the car at all touch wood, don't think I'll bother or risk upgrading to the facelift.

Looks mint that does mate!
