Thoughts on Shadow Grey?

[zoomdaddy]

Collected my shadow grey in March. Chose SG because it was a less popular choice among FE buyers. Should hold-up well over time.

With the right color of wheels, shadow gray looks absolutely amazing. Best color by far. Classy, sporty without being too showy or flashy but with the bronze wheels it ads a touch of contrast that still make it stand out

Hi Folks,

I have just collected my Emira I4 in Shadow Grey. Unfortunately, I'm not too pleased with the colour (it looks more black than grey!) As I ordered my car on the website in January 2023 I didn't get the opportunity to see any colour samples.

In hindsight, I wish I had gone for Red with Full Black Pack and Gloss Black Wheels

Your thoughts on Shadow Grey?

Thoughts? Dark ones.
Color choice is so subjective.

I've had a Shadow Grey V6 since last April, I love it, wait till you see it in bright sunlight the blue and Silver fleck really lift the colour, another benefit, it does not show the dirt.
Still always a head turner.
Also why follow the herd, everybody seems to love mine

You and me both, I love my Shadow Grey, especially in the sunlight where it turns a blue slate colour.

This is the route I want to take though thinking gold

This is the route I want to take though thinking gold

I had gold on my last car along with matte / gloss black combo and it looked good but more “ custom” less classy than bronze. But I still liked it and if I replace my PPF with either stealth PPF or get my car matte black again I wouldn’t mind doing gold again, I just think bronze looks more refined with shadow gray but either way , you can’t go wrong

Just saw this on the Lotus Instagram page. So sold on this rim color

For me, it was okay, but finally I chose to wrap her in blue in end of this September.
I already miss the grey. lol

Red is good though, the grey is sexy too!

It looks incredible especially with black wheels and yellow calipers. It looks elegant. Like the dark verdant.

I change the wheels on mine. Still bronze but more towards gold since the brake pads create SO MUCH DUST the stock bronze one I had at first were turning poop brown within a day of driving. Now they stay looking good for a bit longer then turn to bronze … then poop I gotta find brake pads that don’t make so much dust but without sacrificing braking power.

I have the Hawk ceramic brake pads with gold rims and the brake dust is minimal. Huge difference.

Try Dixcel M, the lowest dust street pad I have tried. Performance is slightly better than oem however they are street pads.

Good to know ! Thanks! Do they brake as well as the stock ones ?
