Jeez' It does change color..

Top one looks too green for me and the bottom pic looks too pale..

Not sure what I should do when ordering.. I would hope one would come in to this country so as I could drive to see it in the flesh as I am sure it would look quite well

What are u trading in?

I think that has more to do with the light metering from the camera/camera phone that's taken the pictures, due to the sunlight.

The offside pic is over exposed.

you are of course correct wardy (you helped me not long ago with vcds yeah?) The photography has had an impact but I think the shinyness does come out more when in direct Sunlight. I guess that's the same with anything tho. I had seen other pictures on here of it looking like the dull one though (on my phone so can't link but there is another green Octavia thread somewhere) so wanted to show the contrast

Won't be trading in.

will be selling and buying new car straight, Makes it simpler for me.

So which pic is more real to life?

First IMHO

Hey Looking to buy

How long did you have to wait for del,we are waiting on ours,should be built week 21,looking at your pics can't wait.

A couple of examples of orange cars, first up the Rabobank team car from last September at the Tour of Britain, then a really orange Caterham/7 earlier this year at Brands Hatch

Does anyone remember the metallic orange which Vauxhall painted their Bertone bodied Astra coupes?

ordered mid-Jan... Took about 10 weeks I think

Thankyou mate, goes well with the wheels.

Like the green, especially with the black wheels.

Needs a black roof too IMO.

Race blue great, but too common. Green might well be the new blue - as in, if you see a green Octy, you'll know it's a vRS!

The OP's car he spotted could have been mine, heading for Sparshatts, picked it up a couple days later, i love it. Sod the boring colours, had silver and blue, thought why not!

Also gone back to Petrol, don't do enough miles to justify the extra cost of the car and i don't really care about the residual

HAd the wheels done black powder coat too.

Just signed up on this one, nice visible colour and $8k off with 5 yr manufacturer warranty, very pleased. Compared Mazda 6 wagon and servicing costs at least 25% higher on Mazda despite manual box only..

The future's bright, the future's green

The future's bright, the future's green

Steal my wee member title thing why dont ya

Only joking the future certainly is green(not in the enviroment sense though)

Ohhh an very nice car

I saw one "in the flesh" for the first time this week.

I can now confirm that I want one. Now.

The second one in the flesh , looks better with the black wheels
