If enough folk order painted grills then they'll probably switch to colour coded grills in Rev B Q3 '05.
[]But you can't order colour coded grills it isn't a factory option
Car is ordered with 19" rims as they look better but not sure about the ride or cost of tyres.

Apparently under street lights at night the car will look like a patchwork quilt so thats a bloody good colour to avoid on ones pride & joy IMO."
Thet are just too damned lazy to do a decent job, metamerism affects other colours (yellow included)

Makes you wonder what's so different about red. I wonder if the other primary colours would do the same?

This does not really apply to automotive paint
The biggest factor affecting fading is the Lightfastness index, then resistance to environment e.g. nasty stuff in rain. A lot of reds are single pigment colours
Porsche red seems to be as good as or if not better than Ferrari red for fading.

I was / am [] seriously considering Natural Red Leather next time around but have been warned off by several OPC that this is an impossible colour interior to shift and would have seriously bad affects on the residual
I recently enquired, on a friends behalf, about an ex demo being sold with lots of boxes ticked including full Natural Red Leather/Arctic Silver and asked the dealer if that was not a hard colour combo to shift ...he said no not at all Arctic always wanted and the Red Leather makes it something really special
In the end one has to buy what they want I guess and certainly not what the salesman wants you to buy otherwise we would all be driving PDK's [][][]
