At least they have put a huge amount of effort in to the camouflage scheme...... :wink:

I actually prefer it in the camouflage paint!  Would be good if they made that a factory option.

I really like the red/blue cammo on the ID3 actually. I'd definitely order that if I could!

You might be on to something there - would be a tough one to lose in a car park too....

It does look good, but would cost an absolute fortune to create by painting :shocked:. I dread to think how long it would take to mask up to paint the second colour to get that red / blue camouflage effect. It would be expensive to repair too if any bodywork repairs were required.

It could be achieved through vinyl wrapping, but I dare say wrapping a complete car would also be expensive.
