Finally I’m in the club! Was due early Sept but after much ballaching with a WLTP derogation application I gave up and switched to the newer, WLTP compliant 199ps 4motion, which I picked up a week ago. Absolutely love it!
Lots of plans and many miles to cover

great looking van @Village, can I ask what size wheels and springs you are on? My next project is to lower mine and aiming for something similar to your setup
Why thank you!
The wheels are 20x9 on ET45. And it’s on eibach coilovers that’re about 55-60mm down
I've always been undecided on this colour. I don't dislike it by any means, I just don't know, but that looks stunning under that lighting.
I think the colour can often look a bit dull, but actually it isn't, and with a bit of work and the right light you can really bring out the detail in it
I'd agree with that statement.
It's one of those colours that really pops in the sunlight, but without the sunlight or bright lighting, it can look a little dull (your words)
A bit like mine in Black. It looks awesome when it's clean, but being Black it's just so much work and inevitably ends up looking dirty more than it looks clean.
Yup that's fair! Exactly how i see it and i can see this being on a par with black in terms of effort required. I'm hoping the serum will alleviate that the large degree though
I’m afraid and embarrassed to say my starlight blue van looks very different to this one.. that looks amazing
KDS ..the best out there !
Hi all, just about to order a t6.1 and my 1st choice was indium grey as I had an off road grey T5 and it aged well. I do quite like starlight blue too but wanted to know from you guys who own them, do they stay looking good like the grey ? I looked after my grey one but even when dirty it looked good. I've seen some old starlight blue ones that look a bit hazy or smeary . Yeah could be they just haven't looked after them.
Probably sounding a bit mad lol but it's a lot of money to get the colour wrong.

I've got to be honest, i think it looks amazing when clean with tidy paintwork, the paint really pops, but when it's dirty is does look kinda dull (repeating myself here!). I dont really mind that though; a nice contrast
On a detailing view the Starlight on will look ace if its kept clean and the paintwork looked after. Can get some nice wet look gloss from that paint. However it shows dirt very quickly.
Iridium grey on the other hand looks cleaner for longer.
I have bought grey on all my motors but my last one over the last 10 years and now regret not getting that in grey. Its a fiesta st line in deep impact blue and when its clean its beautiful....but only stays clean for about half a minute. Even in the summer you can see pollen dust settling on it from a mile off just after a clean.
Cheers guys
Must admit a few years ago when I got the wife an Audi A3 we went with scuba blue as we didn't want a matching grey car and van. The scuba blue looks great when clean but soon looks dirty, like you say.
