That's a great colour combination. But, just know you better not have kids or wear new jeans or else it won't be lemon for very long.

It would be stunning. I wasn't brave enough to get that interior, opted for black instead. Le Mans blue is a striking colour and you won't be disappointed with it.

Someone in this forum has the exact setup in a convertable. Search for 'lemon'. Maybe that will help.

That's what I would have ordered if it had been available.....I'm not happy about it, but it is what it is. White/Terra is nice.

For me that would be the natural choice if I was getting LeMans. I keep trying to talk myself out of getting lemon/glacier silver/JB due to the issue of keeping it clean....but I just keep going back to it. I got to see this combo in person on a convertible and it was amazing! Pictures don't due the lemon justice. If you got the skills and the patience to keep it clean, I say go for it.

The black trim will look great. If you haven't come across this thread yet it has got some good pics of the lemon, gloss black, and the anthracite headliner together.

http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10343 I still love both the blue and the light leather. And surprisingly the lemon still looks like new, despite over 6 months of daily use.

I've seen some of your great work on Autopia, so I will definitely be looking forward to photos after you get it.
I'll also be interested in the products that you use to keep it looking sharp. BTW, I like the combo, too. It will be killer. |

That photo looks more Montego Blue than Le Mans. Isn't Le Mans blue a darker tone?

We could have a lively debate on this board over which blue it actually is.......I'm not so sure there's a 60% accuracy rate on the Montego and Lemans official color threads. I can only go off the source of the photo who said it was Lemans at a Euro auto show.
From looking at countless threads on the two colors my opinion is that the two can look almost exactly alike depending on the lighting....but Lemans seems to have a colder, more silver pearl finish to it, so in many light conditions it comes across as greyish....and perhaps a bit darker. I've seen Montego in person and it pops BLUE all the time. |

You can order that exact spec with the new M-Sport package and Priority 1 Lemon interior. The only difference would be the US spec would have amber blinkers in the headlights whereas the picture has them clear.
