i know its a matter of personal taste but im torn between ordering a black or silver ive had black cars before a nightmare to keep clean but in the 206cc the bumpers and side panels all match making it look better than the silver with its black bits and ive never had a silver car before ,im going for the back & red leather also.both look great any help from owners of black or silver 206cc, as the wait after ordering the car is so long i guess ill have a lot more questions to ask about the 206 cc.

Hi willie
cant help on colour because I have had Cayman Green and Moonstone but the red/black leather is gorgeous, you will love it. Much more practical in an open top car than the cloth as I had cloth in the last cc and it was very difficult to get all the dust out of it. Hope this helps

thanx lizolinni ive seen the leather its so cool do you know if the steering wheel is red and black as well or is that an extra?

If you want silver and the only reason is because the bumpers do not match... well then you can always get them sprayed... People on this forum have already done this at extra cost and the final product is very good.

I personally have moonstone and don't really care about the black bumpers...

Hi Willie
yes steering wheel is red/black and no it isnt extra just part of the upholstery. Glove box is red leather covered too and part of the door. Its really lovely!!

Both silver and black are lovely colours. If your worried by the black, I have black and mine's pretty well clean all the time. I use Diamond Brite protective coating (sprayed on by contractors approx Â£230 - see posts in exterior topic for details) its guaranteed to last six years. Most dirt just washes off in the rain and doesn't stick so I only need to wash my car once or at most, twice a month.It looks really clean.

I wanted the red/black leather interior as it lookes so cool in all the photo's I've seen. I too was worried about keeping black clean and scratch free so have gone for the silver.

Couldn't have got Aegean blue, would have got too confusing in the carpark (me and Julia work together)!!! Won't be parking my new baby next to Julia's regularly as her's is always absolutely spotless and I'm not too good at things like that!

Since mine has been parked downstairs in the office carpark I've made many trip down there to show it off. Goodness knows there are at least two prospective buyers at my company. There's a Jag, and Audi, a hotted up WRX etc but the CC gets the attention. Now I find myself jealous (and thrilled mind you) that having been one of the first there'll be more near to mine.

Isn't the infection wonderful!

Cheers
