Hi,

Has anybody got an fr in this colour that they wouldn't mind posting some pictures of?
 
I have the FR in blue but don't have any pictures to hand I'm afraid. But I think the colour is awesome, it is quite different to any other blue I see out on the road and is different in different lights. I recommend seeing it in the flesh as it is hard to do it justice in a photo. Oh and it is NOTHING like in the configurator.
 
I've got one on courtesy hire at the moment I'll try and post a pic before I return it. It's not as well spec'd out inside as mine and i prefer my 17 wheels than what this has on but it's a lovely car to drive and have fun in and I love the colour. My SE is in the same blue.
 
I love that leon on the link looks well nice and I quite like the color also but got to say the dash looks a massive inprovment on all the other seats

But what is going on with the center dash under the air con controls there's a huge blank pannel looks too empty.

But anyway I love that color
 
The blank panel pops up and is cubby hole for stuff. Agree that the lack of buttons/dials on the dashboard looks odd. I've seen a few reviews that mention that it gives the impression the car is under-specced when in reality everything is on the touchscreen.

Do you find that the blue exterior clashes with the red stitching in the interior, from pictures it looks quite subtle?

No clash whatsoever for me. With the dark tinted rear windows and the front windows are slightly tinted, you don't see the interior clearly enough from the outside for there to be any clash of colours.
 
I am hoping to join the Apollo Blue club next month. Went to the dealer to buy Nevada White but was disappointed that it looked like 'flat' white up close and didn't reflect the light off the side detailing, then I saw an Apollo Blue outside on the forecourt in daylight - choice made!! FR184 5F + performance alloys - can't wait!
 
You will not regret it! It is the best blue ever.

I really like Alor blue.
It was going to be either this or white and in the end decided white myself
Here's one that I found from somewhere, can't remember where from though :)

Apollo Blue is a bit too dark for me, while Alor Blue is too bright. I think Speed Blue was perfect, between the too, but we don't have it for MK3.
 
Speed Blue is real nice, I'd like to change my Red Leon for the Apollo Blue but not sure I like the idea both our SEAT's the same colour :)
 
Thanks Rob66 was punt really as were not any examples for us to see in the flesh, but suits this and the Leon I think very well.
