Hi - my first post so do please forgive any errors.

The time has at last come for me to place my order. I'm replacing my company car in March and the leasing company have asked for an early order for the Yeti in view of long build dates (wise people!).

Petrol 1.4 SE with heated windscreen and ESP as options, so reading previous posts I'm hoping this choice wont be subject to huge delays. But comparing the brochure and the configurator on the Skoda website brings up one issue. I like the look of Steel Grey on Yetis I have seen out and about, and the latest brochure still has that colour. But the dreaded configurator only has Platin Grey. Apologies if this has been covered before, but which is right, and are they actually the same colour anyway.....?

Thanks for any words of wisdom!

No, I think the Platin grey is darker. Steel grey is a nice choice. ( well I liked it anyway! )

Platin and Steel grey are one and the same colour yes. Platin is the European name for it.

...Petrol 1.4 SE with heated windscreen and ESP as options, ...

What I'd spec too, although the light assistant appears to be a favorite to raise the interior rear view mirror. And maybe the Xenons given some headlight comments. Annoying that ESP isn't included in the spec, or that the old ParkAssist option isn't on SE (where that gave ESP "for free" if I recall).

Platin and Steel grey are one and the same colour yes. Platin is the European name for it.

Britons are not Europeans?

There could be a crossover table for British and European mainland colours.

Our European Malachite Green seems to be British Regency Green.

Ah! Perfect reply!!!!!!!!

A like that. I drive an R2D2, oops I mean 2G2G Yeti.

So have we got any of the other codes?

Absolutely correct. Europe is a continent which is about to spread to include Turkey

Britain is a a set of islands to the west. It's a bit like Finland not being a part of the old USSR.

And Tangerine Orange is M2M2.

Finns are Europeans, we have always been. We are Scandinavians, we have always been.

We have been part of Sweden, we have been part of Russia.

We are not Swedish, we are not being Russians, we are Finns.

If you buy a touch up pen both names are printed on label ...so yes they are the same colour!!

Thanks ola_h, there is it.

Now we have a crossover table to check the colours on the different markets.

Thanks everyone - much appreciated. Steel grey it is!

Re the ESP, I will admit it's disappointing not to have this included as standard. I was lucky enough to go on a driving day with Bentley a few years ago on an airfield. They let us drive around obstacles at 30mph with ESP on and then ESP off. Let's just say I wouldnt be comfortable letting my wife drive the kids around in a car without it...........

I did toy with the 1.8T but the company car tax ruled it out as the emissions whilst not horrendous were still significantly higher.

And whilst not a fan of darkened privacy glass, it was too much hassle and cost to order the S then spec it up with SE alloys, leather steering wheel etc. And reading other posts, the lack of stereo speakers in the rear didnt appeal much either. Any thoughts?

But either way, I must say - what a great forum. So much of use, and everyone seems friendly and helpful.

Platin and Steel grey are one and the same colour yes. Platin is the European name for it.

Apologies to the OP for incorrect info. I didn't have the paint codes, only the memory of looking at many pics of the Yeti, whilst waiting for mine to arrive, and all the pics I saw of the Yetis in the platin colour always looked darker, hence my original comment. Paint codes are the key though.

I shall get my coat.........

Well just to throw the cat among the pigeons my UK spec Yeti is designated as Platinum Grey, there was much discussion atthe point of order about steel versus platinum and it was eventually discovered that platinum is the new steel.

Oh and if Britain is not in Europe, then what continent is it in? (or are we incontinent?)

PMSL!

If you check a map you'll see we are near Europe, but never nearer than 22miles. The ferry companies and more recently the Chunnel exist because of this.

It explains the difference in language and culture too.

so which continent do we belong to then?

and if I check a map then I'm actually closer to Scandinavia

Large parts of Europe used to belong to us, At present we are a separate poitical and social entity and I don't believe it to be geographically, socially or in any other way necessary to view the UK as "belonging to" a nearby land mass.

Sorry, OT continues only with this comment:

Liked that as a colonialistical and imperialistic comment. Hello, no Empire anymore.

Then back to the Skoda colours:

When I snooped the net, I found several Regency Green colour tones.

The Skoda Malachite Green is not like that Denby Regency Green (we have those mugs at home):

- http://www.denby.co.uk/tableware-favourites/regency-green/icat/regencygreen/

The Denby Greenwich Green is closer to the Malachite colour which was on the dealer:

- http://www.denby.co.uk/tableware-favourites/greenwich/icat/greenwich/

And it seems to be close the Dulux Regency Green, too:

- http://www.dulux.co.uk/colour/regent_green

To be honest Malachite Green can be anything from the light green to the dark green (almost black).

It is really exiting to wait to see what we get.

?? Geographically every country forms part of a continent surely? I see the political angle you're pursuing but even that seems slightly detached from reality as we are a member of the EU in political terms, and in purely geographic terms we're European rather than North American or Asian or whatever. Oh and as for the linguistic angle, Europe doesn't have a common language so on that basis the French, Dutch, Belgians, Germans, Ppoles, Spaniards, Italians etc could all claim to be non European.

But anyway, I have a UK Spec car and it is listed as platinum grey, so in Skoda colour terms we appear to be European

Y a-t'il des clients Français sur ce site, ou gens qui possèdent les Skodas du marché Français?

J'ai un Skoda yeti dont je cherche kit retouche peinture mais la code de couleur - trouvé dans cahier de service et sur etiquette dans le coffre - est 9157... Pas chiffre, lettre, chiffre et lettre.

Le nom de cet couleur est soit Platin grey, soit Steel grey, mais il me semble plus argent métallique que gris.

N'y a-t'il pas de commonalité entre les codes des couleurs partout? Je ne veux pas retoucher ma voiture en couleur de vache!!

Merci,

M. BOZ

 

Hi there, are there any French folks on this forum, or people with French-market Skodas?

I have a Yeti for which I'm searching out a paint retouch kit, but the colour code - found in the service manual and on a ticket under the boot floor - is 9157, Not number, letter,  number and letter.

The name of this colour is either Platin grey or Steel grey, but it seems more metallic silver than grey to me Is there no commonality between colour codes everywhere? I don't wish to touch my car up in the colour of a cow!!

Thanks

Mister BOZ

I might have a tube of steel grey, the colour of my last yeti, pm your address and i'll send it to you if I find it

 

Je pourrais avoir un tube de gris acier, de la couleur de mon dernier yéti, pm votre adresse et je vous l'enverrai si je le trouve

Steel Grey is paint code 9157.
