Silver or Gray? Can't decide.

Yes I couldn’t decide between Ammonite and IRR.
I went on a factory visit to see all the colours.
In the end I thought that I would get bored with the red so I went for the Grey.
I’m sometimes asked if it’s an Aston. Ammonite is similar to AM colour.
Not sure if should be insulted or pleased![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

It also depends on wheels and interior; I was set on a white exterior for a while and thought the red interior was a non-starter, then I saw a rhodium with red interior and carbon blades with black pack. To me it is the exactly what the car should look like. I have seen each of those colors/features on other cars in various configurations and just didn’t think they liked as good. I think silver is a classic color for the body style

Thank you for the advice!
Options desired and used for my daily search:
*'16 V6 model for budget reasons:
1. Silver or perhaps gray color
2. Adaptive exhaust
3. Performance seats
4. 10 spoke alloy/chrome/diamond cut wheels
5. dual climate control, homelink, meridian surround stereo
CPO and AWD would be wonderful, but puts it out of reach.
I've never purchased a car without a good thorough look at it and test drive. Trusting the dealership for an accurate description and having it shipped would be a leap for me, but might be a strong possibility if the distance is too great and its the exact car I'm looking for.

BTW, given the weather we have in this area, I would recommend adding in the "Climate/Cold Weather" package to your list. The heated seats and steering wheel are glorious.

This is why silver was in my top 2 choices. Lovely, shows off the curves best of all IMO. That said, each colour has its positives and most have some negatives, I have never seen an F Type in any colour that I wouldnt drive or want in my garage save perhaps the gold foil one Ben Kingsley was driving in "Collide".
