Contacted my dealer today to change colour from Black to the new Metal Grey. My dealer couldn't find Metal Grey, only the new Moon White.

Awaiting reply from Skoda Sweden if the colour is available in Sweden or not... 

Odd! My dealer had it in his system way back in week 36. I was told (when checking status of my car 2 weeks later) it would be in production in week 48, so someone must be getting Metal greys delivered soon(ish).

 

It should look a lot like the steel grey that went out of production in w36.

I'd be most interested in photos of Metal grey next to the old Steel grey, as soon as someone can

My dealer confirmed today! Changed from black to Metal Grey!

Were you able to see "Metal Grey" on a vehicle at your dealer and if so how realistic was the colour to those already posted on this thread by Zzap.

Hmm.. I thought Metal Grey was new for 2014? Steel Grey is still available here in Sweden. I believe I'm the first vRS with Metal Grey in Sweden as the colour doesn't exist in either the brochure or on the online configurator. My dealer had to make a few calls to Skoda Sweden to have them open the colour for my order

Nope, only seen the pictures posted here and http://www.skodaforum.nl/forum/threads/kleurkeuze-octavia-3.19477/page-7

Oh yeah that sample being held looks good. Thanks for that.

My dealer confirmed today! Changed from black to Metal Grey!

 

Well done, what interior trim colour did you go for?

Leather seats with red trim, anthracite gemini and sunset 

To me that sounds like the perfect combo

Nice, I'm going for the same except sunset glass.  I didn't order black pack with the original (brilliant silver) but I think I'm going to add black pack to this one.  Looks awesome.

Lets just hope dealer can change it.

Just waiting on dealer to confirm that I can change colour to Metal Grey. The threads on this topic have convinced me to change from Race Blue, a colour that I initially liked but then started having doubts with.

 

Vrs only ordered on 18 December, so don't anticipate any issues in changing colour choice. Interior trim to be silver and wheels kept to standard anthracite.

 

Still haven't seen a vRS hatchback on the roads yet and when they do become more visible on the roads then hopefully the Metal Grey will be a little more unique from the numerous Race Blue and Candy White models that other forum members have chosen.

Black Pack is also on my order

I initially wanted my new VRS to be in Steel Grey but was advised this colour was being replaced by Metal Grey so I waited for the dealer to let me know when he had a colour card that I could have a look at.

As per the above posts the Metal grey is very dark grey and I was advised not available for uk delivery until May 2014, so I have plumped for Meteor grey with red trim and the black design pack with Anthracite Gemini wheels.

Haven't got a clue whether this is the right choice but the car was built wk 49 and is due in the dealers next week so I guess I will soon know if I made the right choice.

Will attempt to post a pic or two here once in my possession,

Cheers,

Ian

Good choice, I have ordered the same exterior interior colour combination.

Hi Ian,

          Could I ask if you have ordered a Hatch ? I ordered the exact same combination on a Hatch just before Christmas . Like you hoping I have made the correct choice would be great if you post some pics please when you have the car.

Thanks

Andy

Good choice, I have ordered the same exterior interior colour combination.

Hopefully 2 happy chaps then !!

Hello Andy, yes its a Hatch and petrol, I do hope it's not going to be too common !! . I hope that your a good distance from Devon so not much chance of being seen together.

 

I will be very happy to post some pics as soon as I have my sticky mits on it,

 

Cheers,

Did your dealer give you any feedback on changing the colour?  I've emailed my change to my dealer but not had anything back yet,

 

Cheers

Mine will be a Tdi DSG estate. Incidentally it seems that Skoda is building cars on colour batch. I was told that my car was in transit before Chrismas.

My dealer has confirmed I can change to Metal Grey. In fact I am going in tomorrow as they have a colour swatch of Metal Grey which has just been received, so that I can see it before making a final decision. I will let you know how I get on.

A couple of pictures of what I think is metal grey (and moon white) on a Superb.

 

 

According to a Polish article the above pictures are Metal Grey and Moon White.

I've found som more pics from that article.

 

Would like to see some non-press photos on a Octavia (vRS) in Metal Grey

 

Edit: The article doesn't really say that this pictures are Metal Grey. The article talks about Metal Grey and Moon White as new colour options and have these pictures.

It does not match the colour sample at all that I posted earlier...

Sounds good mo, could you kindly post your thoughts on here once you've seen it and as to how it compares to the images of metal grey above please?

 

I'll visit my dealer this weekend and see if they can get hold of a swatch.

 

Looks like the UK Skoda configurator has been updated to show Metal Grey although it still doesn't show Moon White.  Maybe that will be a Superb colour only.

Visited dealer today and viewed the swatch for Metal Grey. I must say that it was much darker than the image posted by Janneschaffer http://www.skodaforum.nl/forum/threads/kleurkeuze-octavia-3.19477/page-7

 

The closest comparison of the swatch to the images posted on this thread so far are actually the images from the Skoda configurator and those posted yesterday by Janneschaffer from a Polish article on the Superb. The images of the Superb appear highly reflective / polished whereas the configurator images appear a little more solid, although the Metal Grey is a metallic colour.

 

Either way I was sufficiently satisfied to change my order to Metal Grey, but as he dealer tried to change the order in the system, it was reporting that the Metal Grey was not available although I could see it on the colour options available on the order system. The dealer thinks that the order system has not been fully updated as the Metal Grey has only just been made available. Dealer going to phone Skoda factory on Monday to sort out issue and will let me know.

 

I was also advised that I now have a provisional build date of week 12, which apparently had moved from week 15. I hope that there are further improvements to build dates as the wait is too long.
