I would suggest that laser blue, chilli red, astro black and dark silver are the most popular for an mcs followed by pepper white.

go with laser blue its great, but then I'm biased.

I've got a DS/B ordered for 1st March delivery saw it yesterday at the dealership and it does looks good.

Whilst there couldn't help but be nosy and look at the others that had arrived. Two Laser blue's stood out, one with same coloured roof and the other with white roof. Both of them looked the business.

I think pepper white and chilli red are nice as they are a bit more unusual and classic colours - dont follow the crowds and go for blue, grey or silver cos there are far too many around (like the 53)

If its laser blue it has to be a MCS.
Not available on any other model.

Indeed! But, I assume that the database schema and the ability to run SQL queries is not accessible to ordinary users (and I suspect not the sort of thing that those people who don't work in IT would want to know about)?
