Hi All,

Has anyone got an F Type in Eiger Grey that they could post a good picture of? I'm trying to decide if it's the colour I want to order, but I haven't been able to see a decent picture of one. The best I've been able to do is see an E-Pace in Eiger Grey at my local dealership.

The look I'm going for is a similar colour to the Aston used in Casino Royale.

Cheers

 

Hey EnglishLion....
Here's a pix of my F-type taken from the dealer's website where I bought my car last year.
I've seen F-types with Santorini Black and Fuji White on the road, and test drove one one in Velocity Blue. And while I initially wanted one with the BRG color and may have picked a different color if built from scratch, I really do like this.
Good Luck!

 

Thank you very much! That does look really good.

 

Great Color. Don’t get “sanctioned’

 

What do you mean by "sanctioned"?

 

Hah - a joke. The Eiger Sanction was a bad movie with Clint Eastwood and George Kennedy, if I recall.

Good one, Marko! That one took a minute.

That looks like a nice grey - warm, like Ammonite/Corris.

 

nice catch. Haven’t seen it in 40 years.

 

That's a good looking car. Eiger Grey was a strong contender for color choice when I ordered my 2021 F Type. But I have owned 5 vehicles in various shades or metallic silver or gray in the past so I went for something different (BRG). Sports cars almost always look good in gray or silver shades, I think it is because it gives them the look of a jet aircraft or something.

 

Sort of Dirty Harry in Switzerland with mountain climbing gear.

Thank you. My mind is made up. I'm doing Eiger Grey.

 

I was wondering how long it would take for the obscure reference to be recognised! Nicely done DJS. I have two generations of people that have worked for me that look at me mystified when I make an old movie reference or a MASH or Patton reference and I just sigh.

 

Wow!

 

Great color. And the book's worth reading. Hell, I actually liked the movie, Clint, George Kennedy, and George's "daughter" sealed the deal for me.

 

I reckon the new shape looks best in these darker colours, and black pack. The blue with black pack looks particularly good, whereas I wouldnt have put it at the top of my list pre facelift

 

I'm going to do Eiger Grey, but without the black pack. I prefer the chrome look.

 

English Lion,
I can't fault you on preferring the chrome look. IMHO, the Black Pack on my F-type helps to Pop the appearance of the simple 5-spoke wheels. Plus - and this may be a bit off topic - while the badge and nameplate on my 20 year-old Mercedes still look great, the coating is coming off my 10 year-old high-end bathroom faucets, and they now look like cheap crap. As such, I admit a certain prejudice against PVD chrome on plastic.
Just sayin....

 

This is how I have mine built out. I think the chrome actually works better with these wheels.

 

It is certainly a sweet looking car. I have only seen a couple of the new shape in the wild, it seemed to me that the darker colours and black pack (with the position of the LEDs) make it more sinister and exotic looking - more italian than British. The blue and black was a real head turner, it took me quite a while to figure out what it was. The cars do a lot different on the road with the lights on than they do sitting in the showroom.

I think that the silver highlights might give it more classic lines, also a great thing. And anyway, you can always hit a can of plastidip in the unlikely event that you feel like a change.
