Although I placed an order for LBB, why do I get the sneaky suspicion that a MG M2 is going to look the best on the road?

I saw a MG M4 yesterday (not the first time), and it was just beautiful. I think MG vs LBB is going down to the wire for me. Also, the press reviews have been all LBB, so getting saturated with the color. Still, I will stick with LBB, but have MG as a very close second choice.

I went through a similar process. I was helping work on a MG M3, and I liked it so much that I spent a day agonizing and obsessing over LBB vs. MG... I ended up going with what I considered to be the 'safe' route and switched from LBB to MG the day before my M2 allocation was confirmed. I loved LBB under the show lights at the DC auto show, but I have never seen it under natural lighting, unlike MG. I hope I don't regret switching.

I would love to get some yellow calipers going for my MG M2, I'm definitely going to be looking for another way besides buying the calipers shown in the image below. I found these on getbmwparts, there has to be a cheaper solution than $1,840 for new brakes that I'm even uncertain are compatible.

Note: Sorry if the image turned out crappy. Looked good before I uploaded.

You won't regret it! MG might be the safer color, but it is damn good looking on this car...and that's all that matters. LBB will elicit one response from you while MG will evoke another, but both will be a very positive when you see your car washed up, and sitting in the sun.

Guys and gals, if I keep seeing these MG M2 pics I am calling my SA to change to MG. This one just above is ridiculous! Adem1534 was so right, hehe! It just works on this car...

That bottom shot with the MG has just tipped me over the edge, off on Saturday with the wife to look at LBB and MG in the flesh to get her taken, ruled out white as got a white Golf R Estate coming in a few months for the daily grind

I'm not convinced that those pictures haven't been doctored in some way as they look waaay too chromey to what you'd see IRL.Stunning images nevertheless.

Exactly,after you told me about this I phoned the dealer up this morning and they told me it was under cover and would be unveiled tomorrow at about 0900hrs.
I'm making the trip but don't know what time as yet
