My gold Peugeot was amazing for not showing the dirt.  Even more so than silver.

I'm going to have to break the habit of a lifetime and start cleaning my car now.

Blue Graphite, by the way, but everybody thinks it's a dark metallic grey.

My neighbour has a white car and at night theirs is always full of wee flies on the roof. I think it is the glare off the car when their security light comes on, that attracts them.

you can't speak the name on some forums, but it starts with  Z and ends in l, and its either Ital,Concours, Destiny,Atlantique or Vintage.  The more you pay, the more flies !

Yeh...

Park it up under the car port and go back later and there's loads of them....

They even try parking on it when I trying to wash it...

I sometimes find wee flys (just one or two) when I get into the car in the mornings when going to work.

Other than that, no.

Go try a 3 series- if you want petrol a 330i will be as fast as a GTI, and better all round car.
well speccd new GTI is equivalent to an equivalent spec demo 3 series

i'm surprised they gave you your cash back so easily- they do seem to be selling fast, as evidenced by my ETA of 7 months...
Just sold an S5 - previously mkV R32 DSG Metallic Grey with RNS 510 (thanks to MortyGT140)
