Silver vRS anyone?

DanGB · 10-02-2006, 14:00

Hi all,

Im, looking to order a vRS soon for delivery in May, after a great test drive the other day.

The problem is I only 'really' like is the blue but I think it will stand out to much. Currently my car is on street parking, so basically i dont want it to stick out and say 'steal me' or 'vandalise me'.

So basically im thinking to go for the Silver colour is it seems more understated, as basically I dont want to lose any no claims bonuses, from theft or damage, especially at my age.

Does anyone know where I can see a silver one in the flesh, any showrooms, or actually people who have, or are getting them?

I had a silver Mk 1 vRS and it got keyed twice in our nice residential area! I don't think the colour will save it if there is a braindead around. They need a quick squirt of RAID like all other insects.

I completely agree...in the past 2years i've owned 6 different cars 5 of which happened to be silver and the other being bright yellow...2 of the silver cars got vandalised. I dont think it matters what colour your car is as I think alot of it is either opportunistic idiots or mindless to$$ers who should be rounded up and shot

...ooo for what its worth I think the blue looks awesome!

Part of my thinking is like if i left it in a town car park when im out in the evening for example, it wont stand out, i't'll just look like a plain old family saloon rather than a flash sports car??

Is metallic blue a specially flash sports car colour? There's loads around here, Peugots, Mercs, Vauxhalls. It's just a nice colour - like many others.

Well when I see that colour I think of subaru impreza

The silver looks fantastic. Went to look at one today in a showroom in Ireland.

Barrett in Waterford has one next to the door, €32,390 or something on the window, but he's a reasonable man....

ordered a silver II vRS, got a fabia vRS in silver at the mo,and i had a I octy vRS before this,always find its a better colour for Stone chips!!!

Wings of Peterborough have a silver vRS Octy 2 in their showroom.

I think it looks too understated, the worst colour imho.

Perhaps black would be better?

The blue looks AWESOME in the flesh.

But they seem to find it hard to get an exact match if you need a key job resprayed.
