You're not alone. Prices have gone completely insane lately so I will have to wait until I win the lottery.

Well Patrick, I'm deliberately avoiding silver but I will use a factory colour - DB190 Graphite Grey. It's a solid colour, and as you might well assume, a dark grey which should suit her very nicely.

To be honest the Graphite Grey is only a few shades lighter.

Now all I need to do is decide on an interior colour and we're good to go.
