Jamie, love the Merc 🙂 Alfie, we also have an Astra ST Elite but ours in “Emerald Green”, in the shade it looks almost black but when the suns out its a really deep metal flake green, looks awesome when clean but shows every single spec of dirt.
The Mrs has a habit of picking hard to keep clean metallic colours, so far we’ve had one very dark greyish blue, black, charcoal black, the above mentioned green and soon to be dark purple – can tell she isn’t the one that has to clean them….
Getting back on topic still no news on a build week 🙁 Really looking forward to driving the 2.0 TSi though, the Astra is a 1.4 turbo with 150PS but feels rather “flat” at times, don’t me wrong it can get up and go when asked but suspect a bit more torque would make it feel more responsive in everyday driving.
