Special metallic paints, anyone?

[tomasis1]

Maybe it was already discussed here, so I apologize for a duplicity in advance.

On my recent short trip to Prague, as an Octavia owner, I couldn't help but notice all those Skodas being driven with pride in their country of origin.

One Octavia really stood out, since it was painted in absolutely stunning metallic colour- as I found out on Czech Skoda website, it is called Marrone Brown or Amber Brown.Pure class. Anyway, my point is, Skoda in CZ is offering 50 (fifty!!!) additional/special paints for all their models, including RS range. Anyone fancies OctaviaRS in Baby Pink? Check it out here:

Skoda charges an extra 25% for this Special Paint (15.000 CZK). Does anyone have any info if UK or Irish dealers are offering those colours at the moments? For those lucky enough to be in the process of choosing their new Skoda, don't be shy to ask your dealer about those options.

thats how we should be choosing colours any way, with the amount of money we pay for our car's. And not getting charged another 25% for it.

I've always thought that the vRS would look good in British Racing Green.

I like that Žlutá Fun uni,also they should have the VRS Octavia in the same metalic green as the fab rs

[blackmagic]

Some of those are stunning. Orange Octavia vRS anyone?

[rob_e]

Don't like any of those.

Why no proper grey, like those worthersee concepts? WTF is the point of showing those if the dont make the option available!? Is not like they'd have to formulate something new even, that colour (or something similar) was offered on the mk1 TT - as "aviator" grey...

Wow! I am going to post this on the Yeti forum. I thought they use to do a Yellow VRS?

It's only £550, not too expensive.

i like that "cosmic green" and "volcano red"

They still do - http://www.simpsonsskoda.co.uk/Used-Car-Details/used-skoda-octavia-20-tdi-cr-vrs-dsg-hatchback-sprint-yellow-automatic-diesel-ID_1132668601499284.aspx

If you go to the configurator on that page in that link you will see that for the VRS you only get the same colour choices as in the UK. Sorry folks :(

Ultramarine Blue

Yah, the Cosmic Green would've been my choice.

[gadgetman]

Space violet looks interesting. Quite subtle too.

[Wardy]

This looks smashing!

Proper hairdressers car

[primoz]

I still wonder if there is single person on world, except for Paris Hilton, who would order this one

[blueR36]

Lady Penelope maybe

Couldn't agree more!

They did the standard O2 in Highland Green for a while - only ever seen one, and that was a photo. I love BRG on a car...

BTW, I think these special colours are for fleet buyers, not for one-offs.

If only it had a colour coded grille . . . .

I notice the Irish Configarator now has Rallye Green Metalic and Steel Grey Metalic as an option but the UK one doesn't
