Hi all,
Just took delivery of a Piedmont Red metallic M Sport Impressive this weekend in Singapore.
A really positive surprise as we were initially told it wouldn't be here until Aug-Sep time frame, when ordering in mid-Apr.

Love the colour, wonder why in the UK so limited with colours, surely they go to the same paint bays in the factory in China

Never quite understood that either. It is the same factory making all the cars on the same production line. Then the European cars are all loaded on the same ship for transportation to Europe. Yet some countries in Europe get more colours to choose from.

Very nice.

@Imspartacus123, agreed UK choices were not the best. I was early adopter so thought that was why but shame they didn't release more after the LCI

Thats a super colour. I would loved to have that. Pity here in the UK stuck with the standard boring colours. May be the German see the Brits as boring!

Looks great, especially compared with the limited colour choice in the UK.

Funny you have co-ordinated the cars in the background to be red too, or are all the cars in the Singapore red!

Lovely!

I had a hard time deciding between Piemont and Phytonic.

This picture almost makes me regret the decision.

If this colour had been available when I ordered, this would have been my choice. I love Most Metallic Red cars

The colour range available to the UK was one of the slight disappointments of the order process.
However, it turned out to be pretty much Hobsons choice anyway because you pretty much have to go for one that's available in the dealer allocation.
As it happens, out of the 4 colours available I probably would have gone for Carbon Black anyway, although I would have gone for a non-Black interior.
