My tip is to look under your Polo and make sure it isn't covered in salt corrosion (All fixed now mind you)

Hi All! yep got the car yest morn, and I love it! really fun to drive and very zippy in the city, which is just what we needed as we are stuck in Sydney most of the time. Will sort out a pic when I get 5 mins, got to get back out and do some more driving! haha!

[JonW]

Here you go...



One thing I have noticed... I love this colour. It looks like a flat deep dark blue in the shade, but once the sun hits it, you get a lighter colour round the countours of the car and it sparkles with greens and golds and other colours in the metalic particles. Its really a nice effect and better done than other colours like this that ive had including other Micas and pearls etc.

[JonW]

Its not easy to photograph, your eye picks this stuff up much better... tried yo get a bit of shadow, a bit of reflection and bit of full on sun...

Theres a reason VW always used Shadow Blue when displaying the Polo GTI at shows

Because they are the only ones in stock that no one wants?
