DARK VERDANT!?

[Kenny]

In case you haven't seen it, Autopsy posted Dark Verdant pictures here.

Before you guys and gals get carried away, this is purely for a bit of fun on my part: I shopped a few different cars, (including the dealer event Magma Emira) to Dark Verdant (or my aproximation of it). It may not be accurate and it's nothing official, but I enjoyed doing it for myself and I'm happy to share for a bit of fun. They're all a tad different and if they're accurate, it's more by chance than anything...

Ignore the people in the background that look like they have facial gangrene, I got lazy with the editing and couldn't bothered to correct them.

Love the heck out of this shot...badass.

Stance is perfect, and this is the 1st time I have considered diamond cut wheels. I was 99% sure on gloss black.

Possible to PS this with black wheels?

Also, diamond cut wheels with silver logo & exhaust tips?


Thanks! These are great!

Thanks to you DV is back on top for me again!

Although “swirl marks” magnet comes to mind

Agree, this does look very special!

I really don’t like this shot… it makes DV look like it’s Shadow Grey that’s got the Flu near its Shadow Grey twin.

Funny, that's actually my favorite picture. Love it with the gloss black wheels.

Agreed this looks amazing! Can't wait to photograph my nimbus in the wild.

A few of a similar type of angle.

I'm really keen to see those Silver forged wheels on a car in a real-life photo!

 

[Eagle7]

Being highly reflective, it really picks up its surroundings in a big way. I find it more interesting than just gloss black, as the dark green gives it an unusual look and feel.

It's almost black, but then it isn't.

Stop teasing me with the diamond cut wheels looking the way they should have been...

I've ordered mine with the silver wheels, and I'm seriously thinking of blacking out the insides like my render. The car is probably going to be delivered in January, and we definitely have snow and ice then, so it will be in the garage for a few months for the most part. Blacking out the insides of the wheels will give me something to do since I'll have plenty of time to do it. Most of the time will be spent masking off the silver front parts. Spraying the black will be easy. Probably be a weekend project.

I think DV is the best colour for personalisation -can easily add yellow, gold, copper, bronze accents and it looks amazing!

This last shot is a very good representation of DV. After visiting the factory yesterday I looked for cars on the way home with a similar colour to the FE palette. I spotted an Emerald Green Astra that looked very similar. From behind, with the sun in front, it looked black, but only when passing did it reveal itself as green. Tan leather works really well (Caramel Toffee), as would the black pack.

I've gone for silver wheels with DV but I am 99% certain I'll end up switching them to a deep bronzy gold or something of that ilk. That combo, with the tan interior, is going to look racy, premium, classy, cohesive, exclusive and downright sexy - all at once!

OK, did a little PS'ing yesterday. I'm not super-skilled with it, and didn't have a ton of time I wanted to spend on it, but here they are:

SAME, BUT WITH BLACK WHEELS:

BLACK WHEELS AND SILVER TIPS & (crooked) LOTUS LETTERS:

Thoughts? I think they all look good! I'm leaning away from Magma thanks to this photo, leaning more into DV with BP.

DV with black pack to give tips and letters in black would look great. I saw a DV car with silver front calipers and red rear with gloss black alloys. Definitely not silver but red to tie in the tail lights.

When do you have to finalize your configuration? Sadly and fortunately, mine is locked in.
