Any Regrets Choosing a Black LR3?

Good morning:

I am narrowing down my choices to either a White or Black HSE, each with Alpaca interior. To those who chose black - any regrets?

Its a beautiful color and it really pushes my button. What have your experiences been?

Thanks,

Patriot

I love it but am unsure whether to choose it again.

It looks good when,
a) It has just been cleaned.
b) It is covered in Censored !

Anywhere in-between and it just looks grubby.
 Back in the game!

I’m of the same opinion as DD, although I’d swap the word good for amazing, but then again I’m bias. Laughing

Black - nighmare to keep clean and shows all the fine scratches etc. but look great for 3 nanoseconds after polished.

White - you'll need shades to look at it in the summer, doesnt show the scratches but difficult to keep clean

Thats why I went for Tonga Green Thumbs Up

Ditto what Duncan says .... BUT ...
No I wouldn't change!
It's worth it [for that nanosecond] when you see it clean!

Thank god it's not another Black Vs Silver debate.....

But White ala Ken with all the black contrast on looks 8)

White without all the toys on IMHO looks a little bland & MAY affect ease of re-sale (if you're bothered about that).
Black looks mega 8) when cleaned up and when properly dirty. Yes, when in between it looks grubby, but I still think it looks better as grubby black than grubby white.

Even the Buckingham Black Twisted Evil looks quite good...

Would I go for black again? Well my last car was black and the one before was silver & I kept with the black, so there's your answer I guess.

Either way, you'll be proud of your choice as it's all down to individual tastes. But Black is best Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Newly polished Black with a fresh smattering of Mud is what looks best. Wink
That's why i got these wide wheels n tyres - throws it up a treat. Laughing
Might even get some mud splatterings painted on. Whistle

It was not a D3, but I spotted a white RRS yeaterday, with white colour coding on the plastic, blacked out windows and chromed wheels. It did not look good to me, but obviously floated the owners boat Confused

I do like Kens D3 in white, with the black contrasts. I also think Java looks good too.

But I bought a silver one so can't comment really. Its a D3 and looks good in any colour.

Java black might be high maintenance, but she's sooo sexy it's worth it Mr. Green You definately have to be the type that finds pleasure in the extra TLC required though, so if you're the lazy type, might not be for you Whistle

You could just leave it to get so dirty it takes on a whole new colour over time. Think of it as a protective layer.
