Here's a few images of my car which is currently with McLaren Birmingham awaiting PDI and ready for delivery thereafter - I thought I'd share these as there have been many images of silver cars but very few of the Standard Silver...

Stealth Wheels
Silver Calipers
Standard Splitter / Diffuser
Black Leather / Alcantara trim with contrasting Silver Stitching
Thanks so much for the post.
I have been dying to see what standard silver looks like ever since I ordered mine in that color.
It seems a bit "enamel like" in the indoor pictures. Does it in fact have quite a lot of metallic sparkle to it in real life, or is it more subdued?
Perhaps you can post a couple more pictures when you get it outside.
Thanks again for posting.
With respect to getting my hands on it, I could have had it delivered on Monday but have decided to first have it fully detailed and treated with this G|techniq stuff so that it's best protected when I start to use it - The guy doing it (Drew Parker, Depth of Shine) needs 2 days with the car, he even takes the wheels off and treats the rims inside and out to help them repel brake dust!
Here's a closer shot of the standard silver paint:
Ultra-close-up image of standard silver paint particles!
The best way to describe it is that it is metallic rather than glittery, you can on close-up view see the metallic particles but they are much finer than on the elite paints such as supernova silver.
Excellent!!! Congratulations!
By the way, did you use a tilt/shift lens to take the photo of the steering wheel?
Very nice scale model effect to the photo.

I don't think so - tilt/shift isn't a lens but a (very cool) effect applied after the fact (I believe). In this instance, I think it's due to a wide-open aperture (necessary in low light, and which shortens depth-of-field).
