SEAT do a similar grey on the Cupra too. A friend of mine had one and it looked great at sunset parked next to my washing machine white.
I was reminded of it today when a new Ibiza Cupra Black Edition went by in the same grey shade.
I think the Ibiza must have better gearing than my R in the lower gears as it pulled away very quickly with no wheel spin in wet conditions. For a flat grey it seems very luminescent in the rain, you'd think it would turn invisible!!
Actually those new 192bhp Ibiza Cupras are amazing value and quite pretty too despite a cheap interior (same basic dash underneath as an A1 but in a less pleasant finish) and falling rock like residuals.
They have nearly as much standard kit as a mk7 Golf GTI and far more then their Polo GTI sibling & can be had with huge discounts. A great car if you're not hung up on image.
Oops, did I veer of topic?
