Corrida Red  OCTAVIA RS MK III

 

Had mine for a couple of months now and love it. Found a nice quiet road to take some photos on. 

Should really get some shots of mine, but needs a good snow foam, wash & wax to bring it up to my OCD level of cleanliness!

Picking mine up on Saturday all. A Candy White 2015 model. Will try to get some decent shots on an upcoming trip to the Cairngorms. Looking forward to taking it over the Pass of the Cattle/ Drovers Road as well.

Boy I can't tell you how awesome it is to have a real good winter car living in the arctic Norway and all <sarcasm //off>. I actually see people using their Lamborghinis etc...

 

Sorry for the cac photo. Taken from my little Point and Shoot camera.

Quick visit to New Forest today.

 

 

Great colour with the black pack.

Thanks I was collecting her from the Detailer he had just spent 4 days applying a CQuartz Ceramic Coating! The shine is awesome, well pleased!

4 Days? bet that set you back a pretty penny or two?

It should have been 3 days for an as new car but he spotted a car park ding on the rear nearside door that needed repairing. The Ceramic Detail was £350 no machine polish required an extra £60 to have the ding repaired though. 

A bit off-topic, but my colleague got a brand new Golf GTE and first thing she did was apply a ceramic coating to it. She now regrets it...

 

It does look great and it is easier to clean but... for instance here in Finland there are loads of stones flying around and when these hit the ceramic coat they either crack or scratch it, and as you must know, ceramic coats are not so easy to repair/correct.

 

i was very near to have it done (cause white car...) and then decided against it based on her feedback.

My detailer did explain this to me and recommended that I should have a softer more pliable coating for the at risk areas from stone chips and a harder compound for the rest of the car. I was guided by his 30+ years of detailing and agreed with his recommendations! 

 

Fingers crossed, time will tell!

Nice wheels! What are those? What are the wheel dimensions, tire size, spacers or no spacers?

Thanks, they are called Ultra UA9's on a  8.5x19" ET 44 with no spacers, with 235/35/19 tyres lowered onto Eibach 35 mm springs...

They look just about perfect - got a link to them? Or you bought from a physical shop?

Absolutely love Rallye Green. Sometimes wonder if I should have gone for it instead of Race Blue. Lovely car!
