Solid paint - Pacific blue; a cautionary tale

Featured Replies

Hi All,

 

I really like the Pacific blue- it looks good when clean and was "free".

 

Here's the cautionary bit...it attracts and shows more road crap than any other car I have ever had in 30 yrs :D Dark grey is the best in my experience. My other car a Dacia Duster looks fantastic in it and my recently departed pearlescent black van did a great job of hiding the dirt. Even my white one looked better when uniformly dirty.

 

It's a lease car and I enquired as to whether there was a purchase option when I ordered it. Absolutely 100% no was the answer from the lease company. Well I'm not paying an extra £10 a month for paint then says I, only of course to discover that yes it is an option and VW lease even incentivise you to do so. Doh.

 

When I've washed it, I'll try to get some photos of it looking clean as long as nothing passes it and makes it dirty 30 secs later.

 

Nice car though and a great colour, but I should have spent more than 30 secs thinking about the colour! :blink:

VW incentivise purchase? How so?

You get to buy it a a very good price, especially a few months before the lease ends. They save lots of admin and costs that way.

As promised. My SE Tech greenline completely bog standard. It was delivered minging, but the bodywork has been cleaned and carlacked (complete and sealant). I don't "do" tyres!

 

It won't be getting the carlacked again for 6 months!
