Re: Polo AW Photo Gallery
Anyone here ordered an SEL in Urano Grey? I've tried searching online for decent pictures of the car in this colour to no avail, so any pictures would be greatly appreciated!

I think the lighting conditions may make the car look a little darker than the true colour of Urano Grey.
It’s always worth looking at used examples on VW’s website - there are a few Urano Grey SEL’s on there at present. Here’s one;

Re: Polo AW Photo Gallery
Really don't know why I was on the fence over this colour, it's absolutely the best choice (in my opinion) on the Polo GTI. Only the plain white with black roof gets close to it, it just came back from the detailers getting a ceramic coat that will hopefully last a few years.

To my understanding even the best coatings last, at best, a year.Hooligaani wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 6:57 pm Really don't know why I was on the fence over this colour, it's absolutely the best choice (in my opinion) on the Polo GTI.

Anyone else is blowing hot air.
Re: Polo AW Photo Gallery
For what it's worth the following two videos show a durability test of 34 different paint treatments/coatings a guy did in the US. The first link starts at day one where car a bonnet is prep'd and the different coatings applied. The second video winds the clock on 18 months to show how the various coatings have stood up. There have been numerous videos posted during the intervening 18 months to show progress, should you wish to search for them. Some may be worth a watch as they show the extreme weather conditions and rainfall the bonnet has stood out in throughout the test.
