After about a dozen configuarations have chosen my spec (I think) :shock:
SE with pano roof, heated everything...gets cold in north wales! 20" style 5 wheels, active air suspension plus a couple of other options...total £74,500 so £70k with gov grant. Can live with that...I think!!!

Anyway, my dilemma. Colour Corris Grey...do I go with my head and go for a dark leather interior bearing in mind I have pano roof, or light oyster which I really like. 🤔

What combo is everyone else thinking of getting?

I have a Corris Grey with Oyster interior and panorama roof on order.

I had First Edition Corris Grey on order until i saw it live. For my taste it was too dull looking, not doing justice to i-Pace beautiful lines.

I changed order to Photon Red with ebony/ebony interior.

We're going for caesium blue with light oyster seats and head lining.

I have corris grey, oyster seats and ebony headlining. Since b-pillar lower part is also black, I thought it would be a nice contrast to have dark headlining (have pano as well). However, couple of days ago I noticed that the configurator and show photos tell different stories about lower part b-pillar (show photo is oyster, and configurator says black even with oyster headlining).

It maybe due to pre-prod/prototype, but keen to know what it will be. Anybody to comment based on personal live observations?

I originally went for the Fuji white with Oyster interior but after seeing a showroom model with red interior I fell in love. So now I got an HSE with Fuji white and red interior 😎

I'm hoping the ipace will be at the motor show this week so that I can have another look at the interior and quiz them over the headlining / trims etc.

I have a Corris Grey First Edition on order too. I have yet to see an I-Pace in real life, but I saw another model in Corris Grey and I also felt it was a rather dull color. My solution is to have the car coated with a glass coating that will deepen the color and enhance the dark/highlight contrast. Hopefully that will put some pizzazz back into the paint job - while at the same time protecting it.

Hopefully there will be some at the motor show at Excel this weekend to view. Getting the colour combination and trim right is sooooo difficult!

There is one iPace at the London Motor Show - it's a Photon Red First Edition with a dark interior and the 22" wheels with carbon inserts.

I was pleased it was this combination as it matches my plans for the car I have placed a deposit on and I wanted to make sure it wasn't too orange - and in my view it isn't!

Photon Red for some reason looks more orange in photos than it does in real life or in video - from the same location I took orange photos and red videos!

Hope that helps.

Ps last time I posted photos I got grief for them not being the right orientation - well they are on my device and they were last time, so not sure what else I can do.

 

[Darkhelmet]

My electrified cat will be Corris Grey - black interior - black headlining.
That's fancy for me - and not toooo eye-catching for others. ;-)

@andyd1969

where are you located... down under?

 

[pebell]

@andyd1969 : looking at the pics on my device, there is still an orientation problem it seems. All images appear to be mirrored. You can tell by the steering wheel being on the wrong side 😇

I've gone for a Corris Grey with Oyster interior HSE - I would have gone for a First Edition (I've actually ended up paying more for less) ..... but I just had to have the "other" 22" wheels, plus I have a very odd aversion to heated windscreens (my eyes always focus on the heating elements) so had to spec the car without it.
So in essence I have a FE with 5056 wheels but without a heated front Screen and Privacy Glass (other pet hate of mine!)

The reason for Corris Grey is that I think it shows the curves of the car off best - the original (LA) concept was almost Corris Grey and a designer is not going to paint a car in a colour that doesn't show it off to its absolute best.
The interior was a harder choice but having had a succession of all black interiors which were very practical - and one all cream interior which whilst not so practical it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, however it was a constant joy to be in.
My thought was, what the heck, this is a luxury car - cream interior why not?

Can you let us have some details about the glass coating process and costs? perhaps a link to a website?
Thanks.

For those yet to see Corris Grey in the metal here are a couple of high res photos taken outside - so I think you get a better indication of the colour.

Hope these help.
It is a preproduction car so the panel gaps aren't great.

Thanks @Blackseries! But are you absolutely certain this is "Corris Grey" and not "Silicon Silver"? It looks much warmer and more "dynamic" than the Corris Grey F-Pace I saw at the dealer the other day. The car on the picture is not an FE, so theoretically it could be any color, and the color looks very similar to that of the I-Pace that Prince Charles was driven in - which was Silicon Silver.

If I have it coated I will have it done here: https://www.rideandshinedetailing.nl/en/

They also coated my Model S and it held up beautifully these past 4.5 years. The current price estimate is about €1300 ex vat. Depending on some options it could get even higher.

Another option I am contemplating is to have it carwrapped, because I am not sure that coating it will enhance the color enough to my liking.

I think this is silicon silver:

Definitely Corris grey. I used to have a Range Rover in that colour (and am returning to it with my FE)
