Color comes down to personal taste. For me, I'm sticking with MG for stealth when I'm driving (safely) above the speed limit.

Same here, first time too. Every review article i read stated only black with blue stitching. Also the US pricing guide states this.

Polishing Mineral Grey and putting a nice sealant on it really changes it and makes it pop nicely. I get a lot of compliments on my MG F80!

Please correct me if I'm wrong but when I was ordering my car last month, SA told me that the option code LC is for black dakota (no blue stitching) and the option code LCNL is for black dakota with blue stitching. I ended up choosing LCNL but my statement is based on what my dealer told me.

The blue stands out like a sore thumb in those Dakota seats if you ask me. The more textured leather looks odd with it.

I think you are right After checking the order guide, I see that LC is a code for the type the leather and LCNL is just for highlights/stitching (only option). Sorry, I stand corrected.

I guess you could get the Fanboy Package.. Alpine white, DCT, and M striped front grills lol. Too bad they don't offer Sakhir interior cause you cannot really complete it
hey, i'm no Fanboy

All good

I wish there was other interior options but I'm cool with the black/blue combo.

Yea, I was relying on my dealer's statement but after double-checking the order guide, I can see that LC and LCNL are not two different options for stitching. I was totally misinformed by the dealer.

White M2 - waiting for CSL

I am not sufficiently tempted to trade my VO 1M for a gen1 M2. But in 2017 we should get an M2 LCI and, fingers crossed, an M2 CSL. I would definitely tempted to buy a white M2 CSL with black CF roof and tinted windows. Another long wait, but worth it IMHO.

I pass the same MG F80 M3 on the other side of the highway almost every day in the same place on the way home, CF roof and black grills with about 15% tint on it. Always looks like a battleship.

Hmmm, maybe I will notice this more once I see the car in person. I had never thought much of it before.

You think they'd release the CSL so soon?

Many of the M2 owners will slap on CF parts from M Performance, IND, 3D Design etc. IMHO, AW is best color for modding with CF bits.

Yeah, stuff like that doesn't bug me at all. I'm mainly buying it for performance reasons. Lol. Just never really thought stitching could be that noticeable.

Liked long beach blue way more then I thought seeing the m2 in Daytona , really think black is gonna be my favorite color it comes in though,

Does anyone know if you can get individual colors? I know it cost an arm and leg , just would be cool to see classic colors like dakkar yellow, maybe techno violet

No Individual program for the M2.

I personally would have loved the black/CF bits with Dakar on this car, oh man.


Can't have everything though.
