Scirocco Central

Thanks, Trix!

Just received a call from my (potential) saleswoman, and she tried her best to describe the colour to me:

• Dark gun metal

• Reddish / plum hue

• Undertones of copper / brown

• Sometimes almost oily grey / green

Most interesting!

I was at a dealer's a couple of weeks ago and one of the salesmen suggested Sumatra. I hadn't a clue what it looked like then and dismissed it out of hand.

However, I'm leaning towards it now because:

1. Everything I've seen on the road is either white or rising blue (although I do like both of those colours)

2. I'd love Viper Green, but feel like I'd be running around town with the equivalent of an electronic tag (I don't really want EVERYONE to be able to trace my every movement!)

3. Most of the pics I have seen of Sumatra look different, therefore give the colour a kind of mysterious edge ... .

Thanks again for your help - and for all other contributions.

I've set a deadline to my uncertainty of next week ... then comes the order!!

Here in Cornwall, everything goes mud brown after about three weeks blitzing the country lanes so white would mean a massive amount of time cleaning, which could otherwise be spent driving! A clean Candy white looks good though and I've not seen any in Viper yet.

Nearly a fortnight since I took delivery and, despite volcanic ash and good old mud, car still looks fairly clean, although it will get a good wash down at the weekend. Hopefully the Lifeshine treatment I paid for will start to earn its keep, although the rucksack sized bag of cleaning stuff I was handed on delivery will take a bit more sorting through........

Thanks, Trooper!

I'm meeting one car saleswoman in Cookstown tomorrow afternoon (who doesn't like Sumatra and hates the 'Orangutang' seats) ...... but Sumatra exterior with Truffle interior is my choice.

As I've posted above, I want to get this sorted this week.

I don't think you will be disappointed with Sumatra. I luckily managed to see one before I ordered it as one had just turned up at the showroom when I was placing the order. I looked definitely dark grey but it was not that bright due to the clouds around.

P.S. I went for the truffle leather as well, had not seen this yet but that the gamble I have gone for.

Well, that's the Cookstown meet done and dusted ... had an engaging discussion, but saleswoman phoned me back this morning saying that her boss couldn't possibly match the deal I have been offered elsewhere.

Plus, a Belfast dealer pulled out of the race, saying that I must be getting 'fleet discount' on the price I'm quoting ... .

Will get order sorted tomorrow..........

White imho is what it looks best in. I have seen most colours on the road now and I am delighted with my choice. I know white is the new black but there are many cars out there that don't suit white, Ford for example.

I find it hard to disagree re white ... though my worry is that with so many white cars around, many on PCP Schemes, there will be multitudes of white rocs for sale in 3/4 years time ... .

I see loads of white Roc's around Manchester,few rising blues, silver and black. You will just be another one of them. I want to be different the reason why I wanted Shadow blue but once I seen Sumatra on here I soon changed my mind.

Since my last post I went out for a walk with my dog ... spotted a rising blue Roc. Saw a silver earlier today - and a white one this morning.

In the best colour, which is why it is popular.

I never said it wasnt. Just said I'd rather be different than have the same as others, its very commen now imagin in a year or 2 there will be alot more(imo). And I think thats what serchin4aroc is thinking too.

Yes ... I keep looking at white and agree that it looks terrific!

However, out of 265 Sciroccos available on Autotrader today, 61 are white, 65 are black, 75 are blue, 83 are silver - and 1 (in the "unlisted" category) is Sumatra.

My balancing act is this: do I want to go for the (splendid) white – or compromise a little and go for something slightly different?

Go different!

Go different I did ..... Sumatra, with Truffle interior

Hello everyone, I have till the end of the day to decide between rising blue and viper green, i really like both!!! I can't decide. I expect viper green to be the ultimate attention getter and my salesperson told me that if I order it in viper green it will be the only one in Cyprus , but rising blue seems to suit Scirocco also.
Any suggestions?

welcome!!
only you can decide cesar, but heres some pics to try & help you decide (or make it more difficult)

S

Go for Viper Green, Scirocco doesnt really photo very well and its not until you see Viper Green in the flesh, so to speak,
that you can see the muscular shape of the car beneath

It is not an ASBO colour, and I have had nothing but enthusiastic comments about my choice



I really enjoy my Scirocco in Viper green, it has taken years off me

Both colours will look amazing in the cypriot sunshine!!

Go on be the first!
