Right guys, just getting around to ordering my 5th Octy, will be Elegance 2.0 Tdi estate, currently have 2009 1.9 Tdi hatch in aqua blue (love the colour). Would defo have another aqua but no longer in production, have narrowed colours down to silver or steel grey (trouble is haven't been able to see a steel one in the flesh). I like my cars to be clean all the time so normally go for light metallics, easier to keep clean etc. My question is for those who have seen the steel grey or have faced a similar position to say whether you think it's a light enough grey or should I stick to silver?

Cheers in advance.

Well mines a Brilliant silver 58 Octavia and has had a coating of traffic film on for the last 3 weeks, still looks clean.

Found this if it's any help

I'm a grey lover and will be returning to it when this blue one goes, silver is a safe choice but there's too many out there for my liking, steel grey is the muts nuts - go for it.

that's the anthracite, the Steel grey is bit lighter.................

You got a long way to catch up with me, here's a few shots of my 11th Octavia, to give you an idea of the colour.

A very nice colour indeed, well happy with my choice, as are a lot of other people who have seen it and commented on how good it looks.
