| None get blue or black. Apart from buying the Octavia in the first place, going for silver is the second worst decision I made. ![]()

| I was thinking that but just wanted to save the 350 but RED goes pink / white goes yellow silver looks good all weathers ! But yes may like silver. Black shows marks/ scratches Thats why I sold my fabia vrs. Blue every blue car I have had bad luck with the car |

| Silver looks sh!te, unless its spotless IMO. It doesn't stand out enough for me now. The Octavia is bland enough as it is, so it needs the blue to bring it out that bit more.

| I think Race Blue looks good - I sometimes wish I'd gone for that instead of always having black cars! Black scratches soooo easily! Everytime I clean it I end up having to polish out scratches! Must be thin paint.

| Stu's Cruise Control is excellent value for money and a great service is provided so I'm told. He's the man to ask.

| If you can get it at the factory then get it. If you are having a car from the UK stock don't let it be a deal breaker as it can be fitted later.
