M4 GTS Mineral grey

Rasya · 05-29-2016, 08:08 AM

For those who are anxious too to see it in MG! I love it

I guess it's MG for me. Still happy with it after seeing the video. Thanks

Did you not get the email stating that you were able to get frozen grey?

That's what I got earlier:
"Because Frozen Dark Grey Metallic does not have its own paint code, we must enter it under generic ?special order paint? code 490. Once the order goes into 150 Status, I will be able to change the description to ?Frozen Dark Grey Metallic"

So how does that exclude you from frozen grey?

That doesn't. It's the confirmation that did not happen I guess.

as far as I know everyone who wanted frozen has gotten frozen.... in fact it is by far the most popular colour delivered so far. It is not as limited as as people thought.

I hear 90% grey car? Could that accually be the truth?

Which grey? Frozen or mineral.

Bashful · 06-02-2016, 04:58 PM

I wouldn't say 90 thats heavy...

it would seem frozen is ~65% of the cars made so far from what I've seen, followed by a healthy amount of white.

Here's a slightly different perspective...

If you can't get frozen - There is a silver lining.

It's not good at all to scratch or damage this finish. I have seen a local dealer take back 2 cars (reorder) due to damage that resulted in frozen paint matching problems.

I'd wrap a frozen car completely in XPEL matte clear bra anyway...

And the upside to MG is that is will look fabulous wrapped - probably very similar to Frozen paint and you don't have to worry about scratches or chips. If you ever had major damage you could repaint MG and rewrap.

That's what I did with my Alpine White. I love the clear bra because it removes the paranoia about keeping my paint perfect.

Best,
Wes

I totally agree with you. That's why I was not upset about not getting the FG.
Thanks
