The Official "Royal Grey Plays Well With Others" Thread...

oh, silly me! I totally missed that!! That monitior at work sucks (I'm at home now and can tell the difference now). Thats pretty sweet, a really smooth transition from the silver to chrome, not as an abrupt color change as I feared. I might just have to get that.... but I'm thinkin' chrome grill too.

I actually had the chrome exterior (chrome grill) but switched it out with the body color grill because there was a little too much "bling" for my liking. Regardless, the 3 "flavors" work well IMO as they all belong in the same color family and I was trying to achieve a monochromatic look. Im quite pleased w/ the results.

I recently had an accident with my MINI and I'm in the process of choosing colors for my next one. I had a CR/B but looking at the Royal Grey it looks nice. How does the color do with spashes in rain, dirt, etc for looks and cleaning? Does anyone have the parklane interior and how close are it's color to the body color?
Any recommendations from experience for going silver roof and mirrors or body color?
Thanks,

I think the RG shows dirt pretty easily, but not as bad as black..
If you want a dirt-proof car you need the pure silver!
I think the RG would clash with a silver roof - it's like 2 versions of silver on the same car. I think it would look good with black, lousy with white. Mine is body color, and I prefer that - I wanted a stealthy look, because I drive fast, and want to avoid the cops...

I have only seen 2 Royal Greys in person. One time at the dealer when I happened to stop by to see if they had any (before I ordered my car) and one about 1 month or so ago about a mile away from my house. That is 2 in about 10 months that I have been looking for Royal Grey. I will love having a rare color!

Another Royal Grey MCS here! I like the look of the silver roof and mirrors on mine. Test drove one with the Parklane and English leather interior. That was a real nice look, but a little too pricey for my wife to agree on. Settled on the Anthracite dash/door panels and black and grey "leatherette". It's hard to admire the interior when your motoring anyway.

I think the leatherette is fine, but the english leather is really, really nice stuff. It's one of the favorite things about mine - and defintely catches that early 60s vibe in a nice updated way. Worth the money.
Regarding the rarity, I haven't ever seen one on the road besides mine.....
And I'm always looking..

Having a Royal Grey roof, well it looks a bit too dull.

i have the Park Lane dash in my 06 RG/RG. Aside from the "carbon" center, the rest is the exact RG color. I thought that i would not like the carbon, got used to it. Comes with anthricite gauge rings, i swapped mine to silver.
The RG looks great with or without the silver roof. I opted for the RG, because i don't care for the lighter roofs & the sun roof. I have yet to see a silver roof that looked bad. It offers the contrast, but is a bit sleeker than the white...
looks killer on solar red, space blue & BRG....

Whatever the color you choose on the outside (RG / PS / AB / BRG), dashboard will ALWAYS be RG which can make kind of funny combination if outside color is not RG.
