Scirocco Central

Hey Loxstokk - you've not got one of those cars made up from bits from 3 different cars have you
I saw that Sumatra in Gilbert Lawsons as mentioned above. I'd read about Sumatra having a bronze / copper colour in bright sun and that sounds really interesting, but when I saw it in the showroom it was a grey Manc day and it just looked like another dark grey motor.

Having not seen a shadow blue in the flesh before im now really torn between that and Sumatra .. both lovely colours!

Oh if only they did a red leather interior the choice would be clear!!

i had the same debate bluestreak & went for sumatra in the end. have a look though the gallery (link in top right) as the pics in there are very helpful.

as for the red leather interior, go for heated seats & fabric now & then get a custom retrim afterwards!! will most likely work out cheaper!

The 'look at me' White appears to be the most popular from the ouset since most publications feature the candy white, it does look super impressive & yes I cant help but go 'wow', i did initially want the white and i find this is true of a few ppl on this site.

I actually like the Pewter Gery, and dont mind a few of the other colours...But because I'm impatient, I've not got a Candy White on the way!!

I saw my first Shadow blue one at the weekend.

It looked a bit dull and flat.

But then again it was overcast, I'll reserve judgement until I see it in the correct light.

I saw and fell in love with a deep black one in car park but there were none around. Only went for a test drive in a rising blue one because it was the engine i wanted and wanted to see the sat nav. Ended up buying it. I do regret it a bit as there were cheaper ones down south. I wanted one with Dynaudio too. At the time i was having bother selling my own car and thought what the heck! It was kind of an impulse buy and i never slept well that night. I do love the car though and try not to think of what i have lost moneywise

I originally ordered shadow blue, but then saw one drive past and thought the same, it looks very dull and quite non descript, which to be honest if your buying a Scirocco aint what your going for or you'd get a golf!, unless on a lovely sunny day, which we get few of. So i changed to rising blue, and now i've seen it in the flesh, im 100% its the right colour for me, looks awesome.

I ordered Pewter Grey. But having look at some members pics I've changed it to Sumatra, pity it will be an xmas delivery - won't look the best in the cold, grey light of our winter!

I too ordered shadow blue, then after spending a lot of time looking at sciroccos on the net, changed my order to rising blue its so much better.

Rising Blue.. what a splendid choice

Don't forget to update your profile from Shadow Blue.

P.S. I very nearly changed my order from Rising Blue to Candy White.. so you're not the only one.
P.P.S. Welome.. I see it's your first post

I drove one in sumatra and one in the viper green. I did briefly consider buying the deep black but found that it hid the Scirocco's lines too much for my liking. Finally got Rising Blue. I have seen it in the flesh and it looks great!

Mine is Black Magic... not on the list. Weird Irish colours I guess!?

We ordered Shadow then changed to Sumatra.... brilliant colour, Classy and with a bit of interest. Shows more detail than black can look like a normal grey and comes alive in sunlight. Very nice

welcome fish!
very good colour choice! i class it as slimming but not quite black

Nice analogy. I nearly ordered in Sumatra, however when I eventually got to see one in the flesh, it was a grey overcast day which made the colour look flat and dull. Such a shame because it is transformed in bright sunlight looking stunning with a coppery tinge. Very nice.

I've ordered rising blue and expect to get my car next week!

I did see a white one yesterday from the back and it looked really wide....in a very good way.

In the snow the white looks even more impressive.....if we lived in a country with a lot of snow i'd have gone for white

Im thinking of getting Candy White. The only thing putting me off is people that keep harping on about 'you'll have to keep cleaning it!'.

Even though its my choice in the end.. its still something that makes me think. Is it that bad having a White Roc?

I booked a Pewter Grey (Berrylium Grey in Singapore) recently but after having seen the many pics in Sumatra. I am convinced and changed to Sumatra (Dark Maroon in Singapore). Its a very unique colour I must say

good choice vince, best change your profile >>>
