I thought it looked nice in black but appreciate its a boring colour, white will certainly be more eye catching and it shows the details off better.

Black actually works a lot better on the S3 than the S2 but I've had black cars and never white ones.
Bit like women, I've had lots of blondes and brunettes but never a red head and you have to have tried everything once.
You have a new car?

Yes I know what you mean and I liked my M3 in white, regards the car yes we have swapped the TTS for a 640d and we are really pleased with it, it looks nice for a BMW which is rare and the interior is lovely with leather everywhere which adds to the feel of it.
For a big/heavy car it has a good turn of pace too and its returning 40mpg which is a fair bit better than the TT, its deep sea blue with ivory white leather, thanks for asking.

Thanks I will sort some out, I bet you are well excited and looking forward to your swap.

Not confirmed yet. I'm still struggling to get my head around the extra money needed to make the change and conclude whether it is really worth it!!!

I understand what you mean and your current Exige gives you lots of fun as it is and the rest of your fleet is hardly lacking either
