Solar Orange. - Thoughts
Re: Solar Orange. - Thoughts
I've been thinking about a bright colour like this or Porsche Riviera Blue. However, like others I'm not sure about resale or the attention it seeks.
My plan is to buy a colour I like (Nardo/Sepang) and have it wrapped in a bright colour straight away.

Riviera Blue does get loads of attention, pretty much all favourable. I've never regretted it.

Looks great, I presume that's a wrap too?

You know they like it when you’ve got a bunch of kids jumping up and down at the side of the road asking you to rev it

Re: Solar Orange. - Thoughts
There was an article about depreciation and colours. The oranges and yellows seem to hold their values.
Audi said that red second hand rs4’s stick in their showroom.
If it’s the spec you want then go for it. As others have said you can wrap it and it will be easy to spot in a large car park!

Re: Solar Orange. - Thoughts
Is it odd that the orange car has alcantara door cards but leather thigh pads? Or is that how cars with leather seats come? I thought the thigh pads matched the door cards but looks like I thought wrong.

Mines the same as this mike. So must be the way things are with full leather unless pre facelift are different

Re: Solar Orange. - Thoughts
Pre facelift had no alcantara door cards so were all leather.SausageMike wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2018 8:02 amMines the same as this mike. So must be the way things are with full leather unless pre facelift are different![]()
