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? ________________________________________ Beef Beyond Belief |

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  ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye '99 - Sold |

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. ________________________________________ For we are many.PS£ ID: Monkey369 |

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 ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

I also think manstone is in the top 3Best colours, if not the best, and besides its fact that manstones have more Power than most other colours ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

This is true. The paint isn't as heavy as other colours, making manstones considerably faster than other 6s. ________________________________________ For we are many.PS£ ID: Monkey369 |

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.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Not a very big fan of them standard. But they do look alright with dark wheels and lowered a bit. China FTW. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

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. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

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  ________________________________________ Black power baby!

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 ________________________________________ Beef Beyond Belief |
