I am soon going to visit our local JLR dealer in Ascot with a view to test-driving and trading-in my F-Pace for a new order on an I-PACE SE with several additions over the standard base model. I have been working with the online configurator, and have now narrowed it down to two possible colour options - light or dark. Light would be Borasco Grey and dark would be Portofino Blue (if they did a BRG like my F-Pace, I would probably have opted for that; but alas no). Both the colour options would be with the full black pack and black gloss 20" wheels. I did briefly consider the bright pack on the Portofino Blue, but I think it may be a bit frumpy.
So I am looking for opinions regarding whether light or dark paint finishes better suit the lines of the I-Pace. I have not managed to see either colour in person yet, and wondered if anyone has. The Borasco Grey appears similar to the Porsche chalk colour, which seems to work well on the Porsche 911 silhouette, but I am not 100% sure if it works on the I-Pace from what I have seen in the few photos that are available online. The Portofino Blue is of course a new colour for the I-Pace, and I can only really base my judgement on other JLR models that I have seen in this colour. People with black I-Paces seem to be pleased from what I can read, so a dark paint finish does seem to work well.
