I am days away from owning my first Mingestone coloured Pug. And you know what? I think the colour is great, especially after a good polish. My girlfriend agrees.

The 106 lads love it, calling it rare, limited special edition etc.
Is it not liked here because most Moonstone 306s were Hdi?

Don't worry, I'll still polluted the SOTM thread regularly, was just wondering how others feel about that colour?

Personally I like it. More so with some grey alloys on. I think people just follow others and say its horrible but deep down they love the colour LOL

Same here. People are always saying they love the colour of my manstone.
I've got to admit I wasn't massively keen on the colour when they first came out, but it's grown on me overtime.

Basically comes down to this:

Its worse than:
Diablo
China
Black
Astor
Silver
White
Cherry

Its maybe a bit better than Nile in general, But not matts nile. No sir.
And its better than blaze.

Nile gets hate, Blaze gets hate, Moonstone is in with those.


Plus Stan has a Manstone and is always the subject of casual p**stakes. Much like myself

I also think manstone is in the top 3
Best colours, if not the best, and besides its fact that manstones have more
Power than most other colours

This is true.
The paint isn't as heavy as other colours, making manstones considerably faster than other 6s.

    This is the answer...Yes Laugh my ass off

    People hate Moonstone because deep down they know it's the colour they really want, so have to put it down in public to make themselves feel better.Laugh

    Not a very big fan of them standard. But they do look alright with dark wheels and lowered a bit.

    China FTW.

    It isn't an unattractive colour and I wouldn't mind Moonstone if that is what I ended up with - i.e. because I was looking for a 6 and it was the car I found in the best condition. But I wouldn't seek it out. Because 98% of cars on the road in the UK are a metallic shade in black, grey or silver it can look like a black and white movie on the motorway a lot of the time and I just find it all a bit unadventurous and dull, and Moonstone is a lot like the silver/grey majority.

    Short answer.... It's pretty much baby blue which I'm sure you'll agree matches your eye shadow and handbag a treat.

    With a set of black masks and anthracite cyclones they look acceptable. It's a better colour than green anyway Dry

    I probably won't gave it for long but it's grown on me, brings out the colour in my eyes.
    I'll pop up a couple of pics as soon as my photobucket account resets monthly bandwidth, it has grey wheels but isn't as cool as a cherry s1 Rallye!
    I heart manstone
