what colour should i buy

[alex 80]

hi

i'm in the process of looking to buy leon cupra fr but can't decide which colour i should go for?
currently looking at a black majic and a red one both with same mileage and spec and price so which should i get?
both my other cars that i have ever owned have been red

suggestions would be great and photo's of your black and red leons to tempt me

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

not sure if your aware its either a cupra or an FR

i have the cupra TDI in flash red , its a striking colour when clean
i opted for red because my last black car was a nitemare to keep clean

heres mine

hope theres enuff to show different angles etc

i have a black ibiza fr and i kind off wish i got myself a diffrent colour as its a night mare to keep clean looks the tits when its clean tho

Black all the way!

I'm not a big fan of the red leons, and red paint fades with time too! Looks awesome in black though! Silver looks good too, althogh silver is quite common these days!

Red ones go faster!

Red for me, without a doubt! Click the link below for pics!

Mines an 03 plate in Flash red, with no fading!

red doesnt fade these days as paining era's hae changed from the vauxhall two tone pink/red

as said mines a 53 plate one and aint faded , and i dont wash it regulary , maybe once or twice a month

Depends on what you want from it really. I think the most vibrant colour is the red, if looked after, however, if you want understated, then when clean I think black looks awesome. However, seeing as its tough to always keep clean, I'd say that the best colour is the platinum/gunmetal grey, which is dark enough to look mean, but not so much that it shows the dirt... though I believe you'll see less of them for sale as they were limited to several years?

Personally, I have the black, and love cleaning it, just that the weather here isnt the best so it gets splashed up pretty quick. Still love it though

Got to be black magic

i would say go and have a look at a few in person rather than pics

at the end of the day your driving it not us

the blues always strike me as an unusual colour ,

i looked at the banana yellow but read they faded and lost laquer all the time ,

thas when i looked at a red and thought thats for me , but tbh when i first looked at it it was more like an orange on the advert

it was only when i seen it in the flesh it was red

red all the way for me

The cupras that have had cupra/r bodykits look awesome. It is a shame that they werent made as standard in blue

Yep

 

[seanaldo1987]

yellow ftw

but if its a choice between the 2, i'd take the flash red 1

i thought they done blue in face lift , seen one or two for sale , unless they been upgraded by P / O

They do but its not imperial blue

 

[jonathan_phang]

...unless they been upgraded by P / O

The post office do upgrades now!!! Wow Yeah, I've seen a few blue ones for sale online, but i think that it looks a bit too blue, and the imperial is a bit nicer, more like navy.

IME, black looks great when clean, but well shabby when dusty/dirty - ie approx 10 mins after a valet.

Therefore, silver & metallic grey are the most practical?
