I've got it back - here it is!

Top stuff, love it. I have ordered a 1.2 Pop in black, also with the 16" multis. Looks great. Got to wait until June however!!

Only one piece of advice that nobody ever listens to ----

Dont buy black - It looks fantasctic when cleaned and polishedn, but it is a complete Bars***d to keep clean.
I have had a black car for 4 and a half years - Never Again.

Dunno, if kept well it can keep 'fresh' looking. Metallic blacks also generally demand less care than solids.

My 500 is the third black car I've owned. I bought my cars to drive them so I don't have a problem with them getting dirty although they never get really filthy.

I'll give it a wash once a month or so, it's not a huge problem. Life's too short to spend all your time with a sponge and chamois

My thoughts entirely! Cars get dirty whatever the colour. Fact!

I've got 2 black cars - they just look smart and a bit more executive in black.

I feel the same, cant be bothered to be polishing it very 5 mins.

I will wash mine maybe every couple of weeks and if I decide to polish it then I will pay someone to do it
