I'd go black or tartufo if set on DG. The good thing is, DG is a neutral color, so you won't really clash with any interior choice.

DG is nice, but I like Bluestone better. Big NO to Marina blue. With DG, smoke white interior is very, very nice. Silverstone is nice as well.

Me, too! In fact, I went out of my way to find a car with the Silverstone interior and compromised on the DG exterior to get it... I think I made the right choice but I love to the DG and drool every time I see one.

I like Silverstone on darker color exteriors...but for some reason I don't like it paired with DG.

I did finally get to see Full Aragon Brown in person...had a chance to sit in the car for a while and I REALLY like it. Looks much better than most of the pics I've seen on the internet.

Thanks for all the recommendations/feedback...I'm going DG with Aragon Brown Full leather interior. Can't wait.

Donnington also never looks dirty.

Picking up my DG with full tartufo tomorrow... will post pictures!

I wasn't sure about Donington at first but now that I've had it for a few days, it's absolutely beautiful. The family is crazy about it too.

GUNGASLOW · 12-30-2018, 10:28 AM

I tradeded in my donington for Snapper Rocks Blue.. best decision ever!!

Congrats on the new car...time to post some pics!

gtenedio · 07-10-2019, 10:05 AM

love my donnington. came from a mineral grey f80 m3comp. the donnington has a bit more shine in the sun, and lasts that extra day or 2 before "wash me" signs are needed!!

>>>and lasts that extra day or 2 before "wash me" signs are needed!!

LOL!

masmole · 07-10-2019, 11:15 AM

I'm also 1000% happy with Donnington grey. I would absolutely do it again today if I had to. MBB was a second choice but kinda got tired of blue since it's too similar to my pcar's blue. SG was a third choice, but like someone mentioned, Donnington offers a greater contrast to the carbon roof if you've gone with that option, and has more pop under good light. I have had many silver/grey cars before, but Donnington has the most personality among them... ok I'm not even sure what that really means lol

The only other non-individual paint I'd even consider over Donnington is Champagne Quartz, which is just as as beautiful in my book.

Wanted a frozen look without the maintenance. Got DG and wrapped it with XPEL Stealth. Paired it with Silverstone. Turned out great.

Hmmm, sure. Once I figure out how to post pictures here.

Picked up mine this morning. I am loving the colour and am happy I went with chrome ( for now lol). This will be a keeper so I went with full black leather for durability and maintenance... I think I’ll always wonder if tartufo would have looked better but I really like the metallic silver/chrome vibe that continues into the cabin accenting the black leather.
