200: **** this looks good..

[Raider_Lew]

22k for a car that'll be knackered after:

1: Some motorway miles - just like any other car
2: A harsh winter - with wax on it, its the same as any other car
3: A jetwash - cant use a jet wash anyway
4: Bird ****/berries - same factor as any other car if not treated

it looks good but its a fad, these "special" editions will either have to pampered to within an inch of its life (not what the clio is for) or they'll be wrecked. Genuinely don't see the point...

A fad? Maybe if it was wrapped but how many manufacturers do you actually know at the moment with actual matt paint? Not many

Makes me laugh how so many people seem to know a lot about a matt painted car but never owned one, or probably had a hands on experience. Where there are benefits from matt finishes, there are also a few sacrifices you have to make so "each to their own" as they say. The price you see and the price you pay are 2 totally different things :biggrin:

Thought it was £7k on the M3... makes it even better value
