.....that'll be the first time I've heard Seats colour scheme described as 'ordinary' or 'boring'
you for real?
The pic of the Ibiza you've posted isn't in Speed Blue, its Galia Blue which is another of the Custom Pallette colours. The prototype leon colour is Rubi Red metallic which is available on most leon models and a very nice colour especially favoured by members of Saga! To be fair, if its on a Aero kit Leon and kept immaculately polished it does look good but it is a colour that needs lots of TLC and elbow grease.
I forgot to click the "quote message in reply?" button on the post i just put on, must be something to do with me approaching Saga qualification age!!!
Custom Pallette colours Speed Blue, Kiwi Green and Lumina Orange are available to order on Leon FR TDi, Kiwi isn't available to order on FR TSi but the other 2 are.

I did say it looks good with the Aero kit but I bet you'll agree that it takes a lot of hard graft to keep it shining.
I 'spose its a bit like Inferi, it gets caked in road dirt, looks dull and ordinary, you begin to think "did I choose the right colour?", you spend a couple of precious week-end hours minting it up again, you then stand back and look at it just a a few (rare these days) rays of sun pick out the depth of shine and the hidden hues of colour, you see the admiring looks of the passing Focus/Astra/Megane driver and you think to yourself "did I choose the right colour - too bloody right I did!!!".
It will have to be a dealer fit as the K1 coversion isn't being done by SEAT UK on any of the Custom pallette colours as yet.

Sorry but I think you're wrong, who wants a Jazz Blue Golf these days which at least was a pearl finish, or even worse an Extreme Blue Leon. White has seen a resurgance in popularity across the industry worldwide, Orange is synonymous with performance, Black is always cool, Red looks quick just sitting still and yellow mirrors the racing team, mid Blue, hmmm, what can we say about it? My aunt once had an Austin Allegro in mid blue and I once saw a vicarage with the front door and guttering in a similar shade of mid blue! Thats it, the best reasons I can come up with for buying mid blue are it looks ok on an Allegro or a vicarage.
Buy "Speed Blue" and I guarantee you'll get the same response when you try to trade it in as a Brisa Blue owner does; ie. The salesmen all run for cover as none of them want to be the one to tell you that the colour they talked you into 2 years ago is really sh*t and worth a grand less than any other colour. Don't be fooled into the hype that says because its expensive its special, its mid blue boring!!!

The blue on standard leons look boring/rubbish, but on performance vehicles blue can be really nice, for example the clio 197, audi RS4, and vauxhall vxr. Blue was a very popular colour on those vehicles.
I stick by what I said and believe but only time will tell! I have to think of colours and cars in general in a more dispassionate, pragmatic way than a retail buyer for obvious reasons. Ask an Audi dealer (I already have) how he values a Blue RS4 compared to a black or red one.
I remember back to the days when I was a salesman, on commission, selling Toledo Sports, Cordoba SX's and Ibiza GTi's and how I'd do and say just about anything to curry favour with the customers because I didn't really know if I'd still be selling SEAT's when the client came back with the car in 2 or 3 years.
These days I think the majority of car buyers are much more switched on so the posts I make on here are not written to please everyone just so they will buy a car from me, they are my opinion (and we all know opinions are like arseholes - everyone's got one) based on many many years experience of both buying and selling in the motor trade mostly with SEAT, because of that length of time with SEAT and the level of 3rd, 4th, 5th and even 6th time repeat business we have, our policy is not too just try to sell the client a car for today but to sell him a car that will give him a chance of a fair deal the next time he changes it. Perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps the only thing that matters these days is "the deal", again time will tell.

Everyone has there own opinion, but it comes down to what they have on there drive, would you buy a colour just to suite future owners of the car or would you buy a colour that you really love
End of the day the way i see it is when i buy a car its gotta be what i want not what other people might want
