Hi,

Picked up my new motor last Thursday and driven my 1st 1000 miles already :D

I just adore her and miss her when she’s in the garage. Unfortunately I can’t see my drive from my living room so have to go check her now and again to make sure she’s settling in ok.

Bloody bird pooped on her spoiler yesterday and it took 2 washes and t cut to get the mark off. Now thinking of getting ceramic coating so need to investigate that.

MY18 V7 Coupe 340 R Dynamic Indigo Waterborne or possibly Carpathian Grey(log book says Grey). 20” 6003’s. Black skirt, bonnet vents etc, Ivory seats and headlining, meridian 380.

Here’s a few pics. Maybe someone can confirm the colour?

Welcome! Car looks great (don’t they all?), seems you need to put a new window in! Looks carpathian gray to me but the colour should be stated on the plate on the passenger side B pillar.

Welcome!

Bird poo is a real problem, you need to remove asap. The trouble is that it etches the clear coat slightly, so can't be just polished out. I'm sure more experienced here will give you some tips, though apparently slight warming using hair dryer or something helps to reflow the clear coat enough to go smooth again. Not tried myself, but had this on my other car, and tried all sorts of things, then after couple of days in hot sunshine it disappeared. Mind you, the colour is called magic blue, so ... I use a car cover now if I'm away from home.

Thanks, will take a look on the pillar. Carpathian Grey is the colour I wanted so that would be good if it was that officially.

Have been looking for a while for one in this exact colour and same wheels. Every time I found one the sold straight away so jumped on this one as soon as I found it. As someone who is about to turn 50 I quite like the silver as it’s more classy and aged appropriate 😊

No need to flaunt your youth at us! Some of us passed that milestone (millstone?) decades ago ... ;)

Welcome!
Great to see loads of photos straight away - you'll get on well here :D
And I'm also firmly in the camp that the grey colours tend to look better with the chrome trim highlights 8-)
