Has anyone taken delivery of a Silverstone II M4 or M3 Competition Pack if so please could you post a picture up as I cant find any examples on the net whatsoever, thanks

Thanks very much I feel a lot more confident that I have ordered the best colour after seeing that

Same here! It's amazing how it looks in different light as well! I was originally toying between going for a light colour so you can see the lines of the car better or a dark colour for that more aggressive look but either way looks great and I'm glad I went with the SS in the end.

dopper99 · 05-15-2016, 06:17 AM

Me too! Really like the look of Silverstone and looking forward to it also.

I've also gone for SS, expected end of June. I change car every year but plan to keep this one longer so chose a colour it will always look good in.

There is a chap who has posted in the main F80 colours thread under F80 SS2 also.

ajfoggy · 05-15-2016, 02:38 PM

Do we get the valet feature to lockout the 'trunk' from the glovebox? FFWD to 9:34...

Mark1966 · 05-16-2016, 11:19 PM

Update.

The wife has kindly put some doubts with regards the Silverstone II into my head

After showing her the SSII pictures she seems to think that the CP wheels blend in too much with the 'silver' bodywork. Whilst I dont fully agree with her I can see her point.

Anyway the upshot is I have changed the order to Yas Marina Blue with Full Silverstone interior

PeteRock · 05-17-2016, 01:12 AM

Haha, that's a big change, personally I prefer YMB than SS. Around where I live, I always see M4s and not M3s, most are Yas and have seen 2 blacks. Tbh I think this car suits a bolder or brighter colour

Not seen any sakhir yet or CPs, so hopefully mine will look more exotic 😁😁😁

That's such a brilliant combo and was my original choice. Superb car!

Mark1966 · 05-17-2016, 09:13 AM

Thanks Chris, I am still really torn on the SS/SO though so I have told dealer to lock the YMB/SS before the wife puts anymore negative ideas into my head

TBH I think all the colour combinations are brilliant and there is no bad combination.

dopper99 · 05-17-2016, 10:33 AM

Yes, all the colours look fab.

YMB as bit too "loud" for me so I stayed "safe" with SS.

But yes, it does look good in YMB......

Sure you've seen these threads, there's a master colour sticky thread but here's the YMB F80...

You need to see San Marino blue in the metal... You will fall in love again!!

Silverstone isn't all that bad either

M5essex · 05-17-2016, 04:57 PM

Nooooooooo!!! SSII looks fantastic with the carbon roof and 666m wheels. YMB is a brave choice, and not one I'd make TBH.

I don't disagree Chompers but now the Mrs has sowed the seed of doubt it is hard not to take notice, I think SSII is the classy option and the YMB is more a 'Yobs' colour

Never mind at the end of the day it is all about the drive

JustChris · 05-18-2016, 08:26 AM

Just don't get a non M colour is all I would say. I've been there with the BSM M4 and regretted the colour a little bit from day 1 of collection.

YMB, SS2, SMB, SO, AY all top of my list....well except AY which I can't really stand!

I appreciate there is a lot of MG love about in the UK too and AW/MW are classics and contrast so well with the roof etc. For me though M colour on the M car yes please.

Now hurry up and be late June dammit!

At last at 68 and after 50 years of driving I have achieved yob status.
