Just ordered 55TSFIe Avant
- Thread starter TSFIe
- Start date
Went with the comfort and sound package and the extended leatherette (I think the PHEV comes with the technology pack as standard) I Was going to order daytona grey but my last 3 cars were grey so it was a time for a change hence the tango red. Will post up pics when it arrives but a September delivery date is going to be a painful wait for me !Any details on specs/colour? Be great to see the obligatory pics when it arrives
Not done red before, whats it like to live with ? one of the great things about grey is it hides dirt really wellGreat colour
Looks great especially in the sun as the metallic really pops.Not done red before, whats it like to live with ? one of the great things about grey is it hides dirt really well
It’ll wont hide the dirt as well as a grey car and you need to take care washing it as from certain angles in bright light any marks in the clear coat are be easily visible.
Mine looked fine when I picked it up from the dealers but then when I got it home found it was covered in fine scratches from not being washed properly. Just in the process of correcting and applying some decent protection to it.
Fortunately I like cleaning it but if thats not your thing then I would definitely getting ceramic coating applied
Thanks for the tips Frizzley, I've got a few months to plan out what I'm going to do but like you I don't mind a bit of cleaning
interested to know what you plan on doing after correction ?Attachments
Time constraints and needing to use the car means the correction job is being spread over a number of weeks. I therefore wanted / needed to get some protection on it as I went along so after reading a few reviews I decided to try some WoWo’s Crystal Sealant. So far very impressed with product. It’s dead easy to apply and literally all you have to do is wipe it on and wipe it off per the advertising blurb. after application the paint feels super slick and brings out the metallic in the paint. Beading is excellent and so far have noticed a significant difference in the amount of dirt on the car between the areas that I have finished and the areas I still have to do.
Longer term I’ll probably experiment with some different products but for now very happy with the Crystal Sealant

Oh man, another product I'm gonna have to look into
thanks for sharing.
Yesterday I fitted this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07L5R9BCC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to my Avant. Just like fitting a creen cover to a mobile phone, just bigger! Once on it is hard to see, other than the very feint line at the edge but that is all. Hope it will stop the top pf the bumper getting scratched loading things insie and out. On my last C8 I managed to scratch the bumper quite badly when I bike I was loading slipped and this looks as if it would have protected the bumper from that. I would post a photo but as I have said it is almost impossible to see
