Gotta love Estoril Blue

Twenty2Three · 09-02-2016, 02:53 PM

You either love it or think its its just too common...
However EB always amazes me with how lovely it suits the F30 in any light and even after a few weeks without a wash
A couple of snaps in the twilight tonight...exif data for those who want it.

Nice car, I need to take my Canon 5D Mark 3 out and get some shots!

I love the EB colour, but when I see it on the roads it just bores me, too common.

d4springer · 09-02-2016, 03:16 PM

Very nice, good photography as well! Although I reckon my iPhone would beat that no probs

Twenty2Three · 09-02-2016, 03:30 PM

Manual focus lens... my eyes are not what they were lol!

CazuaLLUK · 09-02-2016, 04:50 PM

I have a 50mm 1.4, might take it out and about this week and try get snap of the car!

Oh and could I have it washed and waxed first please not touched it since erm June ... Or May, I think

Definately looks amazing on an f30. Not so on an f31 imho and I think colours like mg suit that much better.

With the Hearse looking far superior to the rep mobile salon, then blatantly the Hearse looks great in EBII.

I definitely would not call EBII common, Black, White and Grey yes definitely are common.

Must depend on area. Down here I have seen maybe 4-5 silvers in the past year.

BrennanF30 · 09-02-2016, 07:58 PM

I love my Estoril Blue, I wanted this colour ever since I decided to get an F30

Everyone who complements my car always mentions how nice of a colour it is

I don't know how you could ever call EB boring, its certainly one of the nicest colours in the the range. Most F3X over here are White, Silver or Grey.

haha well yes the f31 is far the best looking car in the range. Just needs to be in MG...

pdk42 · 09-03-2016, 03:08 AM

Can't beat EBii, even on the hearse.

Steven1077 · 09-03-2016, 07:17 AM

I really don't think it's that common, and even if it was it's still not boring, always looks great on a sunny day

Same down here, 90% I see are bloody blue. I love the colour but it doesn't turn my head any more.

Kal101 · 09-03-2016, 02:29 PM

Looking good dude.

If it's "common" it's because people like it !!!!!

quadwiz · 09-03-2016, 02:30 PM

)
