Speaking of which, the veloster is also available in the primer-esque grey, they call it Battleship. I've seen one at night with it and it looks fantastic, hoping it suits the Octavia in real life.

I think my Dad had an FB Holden in that colour grey with a milky salmon pink roof.
I don't mid matte grey (the Velosters look great) but that Skoda looks like primer + clear (thanks Twin Dad, I couldn't put it better) & therefore a bit of a bet each way. Maybe it's better in the flesh

Yes, we have a battleship Grey Veloster with white racing stripes in our suburb. It looks good & I don't think it will look dated in 5 years time.

That grey colour reminds me of an old bloke that lived down the road from me many years ago. He was an ex-Navy guy and managed to get hold of a load of surplus battleship grey paint and not wanting to to waste it, painted his entire house with it!
Yep, battleship grey is a great colour for, well... battleships!

looks like superskoda have some nice factory looking wings that are WAY better (IMO) than the factory RS wing.
I think they have used the MK2 FL wing to model it from lol

This thread is just plain depressing with them not coming here until the end of next yr.....goodbye Skoda, it was nice having you here in Australia.
I hope the yellow colour is closer to the 2nd pic. I bet its just over saturated.
as for skoda bringing the new model here. well, who knows. lets hope they don't pull out of Australia. it would explain why dealers are closing down.
I might have to move to Europe just so I can own one
