Thanks for the reply, looking like I can't order them Supernova wheels from Ireland! :( Sickened.

 

Anyone consider ceramic coating the car? Reading various reviews

Really ? I'm sure I saw those supernova alloys on a display rack in my supplying dealer last January. I'm open to correction on that though!

 

I have the carpro cquk kit for my car but have, nt had the time to apply it yet. There is a lot of preparation to be done to the paint before applying it and I have,nt had the time or the weather conditions to do it yet. 

I regret not doing it the day I picked it up tbh  ,as time goes on the more prep work has to be done , detar ,  decontamination ,maybe light polishing in places to get rid of light swirling etc. It's probably two days work to do it properly at this stage ! 

Should be worth the effort though ,big fan of carpro gear myself ,any of their products I've used so far have been really good .

Ya I asked and they are not factory standard. :( Its a pity as I love them. I'm going to ask the garage to see if I can do a swap.

How different is that to the Lazer white? 

[fluffmeister]

Is Lazer the replacement for Candy White? if it is, then Moon White is "Whiter" If you put a Moon White and Candy White side by side, the Candy White looks almost cream in comparison. Moon is metallic as well, and in bright sunlight you can see that.

 

You can see the difference in this post from the Yeti Forum with a Candy White (now Lazer??) Yeti next to a Moon White Yeti, Moon White in the foreground

Cool beans, I'd never heard of Laser White before this thread  Ironic that the first picture in that google search is the post I linked to showing Candy vs Moon

had huge headache when chose right white, were so close to stay on classics black  

[Flatjack]

Does anyone have a picture of a Moon White Estate SE Tech (or Business) on 17" alloys. With the choice of wheels available I am really struggling to choose the right colour wheel combo. Many thanks 

[Blindek]

Laser White is colder, also Metallic paint with no Pearls in it as opposite to Moon White

 

Candy = More Yellowish 

Laser = Pure white without pearls

Moon = White with Pearls and a bit Smoked style white compared to Laser

Personally I would remove them... the centre caps are crap anyway and will require changing in around 18 months as they still suffer with the dreaded whiteworm,

 

All 4 of mine need replacing and they have only been on the road about 8 months (as I run winter wheels and tyres) mine also had the Crystal Serum applied from new.
