Electric silver
Hello all,
Have ordered the rdesign d4 in electric silver, anyone have any regrets about choosing this colour? Only saw it briefly in showroom conditions on an s60 so unsure what it looks like in natural uk sunlight. Really like black now but most people seem to say never again. Thanks |

Black does look so great when clean & shiny but how often is that in the UK, so Electric Silver it was which does a great job of hiding the dirt & muck.

After owning six or seven black cars over the years this is my first silver car.
Black is still a favorite but only when washed/polished. The Electric Silver is a fantastic colour to keep clean plus I've never seen a colour that changes so much with the light. Be happy with your choice you'll not regret it. image.jpg

I really gave a lot of thought to Electric Silver, but I've decided to go with normal metallic this time.

I really like the electric silver. I couldn't justify the additional expense so my main choice was between Sapphire black and bright silver. I went for bright silver in the end mainly because I could see one in the showroom so knew I like it. It was really difficult to see any in black that were SE spec and so it was difficult to know how good it looked.
Anyway I've seen both now and still not sure if I've made the right choice. ..... I've yet to see one that's not looked good though so looking forward to delivery! |

Just seen a dirty black Swedish reg. V60 by the town hall in Copenhagen - the colour didn't do anything for me- most cars here seem to be black these days inc. my son's new Mondeo Estate, and their nearly all dirty. Btw you don't see too many Danish reg Volvo's - far too expensive e.g my XC60 in 2011 cost just over £37000 in the UK, whereas we priced up the same spec in Copenhagan, in 2011 - £104,000 equivalent.
