What do you think of Baltic Blue Tim? Nice? or not?!

Ali.

Just noticed that the closest lower car has the 17" wheels which are not a UK option.

       

Thought of finish it off haha

Never saw a baltic in the flesh, so it will also be à hopefully pleasant surprise wen it arrives. I did spec The fogs so shouldn't have The grey blank plastics.

Ali, not unlike the old Buckingham Blue, but without the twinkly bits that made Buck Blue look fanstastic on a sunny day. Personally, it is too dark a colour for me, I think it would show the road dirt too easily.

could be mine... handover next week (belgium)

You would think white shows road dirt all too easy as well, I never had a white car but the wife had one and she swears she would never have another car in white due to trying to keep it clean. Suppose we live in the country always getting cow shit up the sides lol

Tron515, I haven't had a problem with road dirt but tar spots have been a nuisance which is why I have recently had mudflaps fitted, in an attempt to reduce them. I have had a paint treatment applied and have been very pleased with the result and after a year the paintwork still looks great. I'm also not a "detailing" freak, my car gets washed fortnightly whether it needs it or not and I don't spend hours polishing it - cold rinse, warm water with Zip wax hand applied and then a cold rinse off is all it gets. Every six months it gets a wash with the top-up solution supplied by the paint protection company instead of the Zip wax

Tip: in those days when i was surfing, we used margarine to clean up tar mess. it works and it's the cheapest you can buy as tar-remover.
