Picked up my new 55 plate LCR yesterday!

[Phil K]

Happy as Larry with it! (why's Larry always happy?)

So far, I'm overly impressed with it's performance, ride quality and cabin noise! Economy is better than I thought it would be too and I managed to achieve 31.6mpg on the way to the office this morning with the highest reading showing 33.8 while on the M25!

I took some pics yesterday while it was still clean and will post them later when I get back home!

Planning to get the Fabia wiper sorted in the next few weeks but other than that it's going to remain fairly standard as it is after all a daily driver...

Am now clock watching and can't wait for half 5 to roll round so I can go and play again

lol!

It's Platinum Grey and had 6K on the clock - ex-Seat UK managers car... paid £15.5 or rather borrowed that amount from the nice finance people lol

Company car allowance will be paying it off too so happy enough with the deal

 

[SteveD]

Cool nice one enjoy. Gett some pic up so we can have a look

 

[SteveD]

Best colour

 

[dan__smith]

Slightly biased Steve??

No seriously though, is a sweet colour.

 

[InfernalBadger]

Best colour

Is the one in your avatar platinum grey?

Looks like Luna grey, but it might just be the light




Anyway, black is obviously the best colour. (Although I did see a Red clone of my car the other day and it did actually look fantastic even though I don't usually like red )

See, I used to HATE red, but I was browsing on Autotrader and saw a flash red leon cupra (NOW MINE ) and loved it!
Admittedly I'd love a black one, so maybe a black LCR will be my next project!

I think it's because most manufacturers red is a horrible shade
My shitty old fiesta having the most faded red paint ever probably doesn't help either


I hope you like cleaning your car if you plan to ever get a black one Unfortunately I don't so mine has been covered in dirt since I got it

 

[skullmunki]

test driving a red FR+ tomorrow

if i can get the price down a bit (no part-ex and paying cash, so hopefully), ill be slapping a deposit down.

was never really a big lover of red, but saw this one and fell in love

 

[paul26982]

me either and now love my red monster!

Ford's Colorado and Radiant Reds fade like the end of 80's metal songs.

It's a shame because some cars just look... well, rude.. in red! It's such a racey, raw colour. I'm a big fan of it.

I just hope SEATs reds don't suffer the same fate under prolonged UV exposure. I don't know enough about them to say :S

I've a soft spot for blacks, anything dark-grey ..(think gunmetal or Ford's Magnum-Grey.. mmm) and red! I think as long as wheels and interior compliment the shade, it's all good...

 

[dan__smith]

I try to wash mine at least once a week, but with the shitty winter weather, soon as its hits the road/see's the rain, it looks crap again!

 

[SteveD]

It is Platinum Grey when you do about 700 mile a week it is good colour to have

 

[dan__smith]

Does look wicked Steve!

 

[SteveD]

just proving that it is Platinum Grey

My car is actually bright pink! Its just the light is never on my side and seems to always look red!

 

[SteveD]
