'Polar Silver' - Does this exist?

[kmpowell]

I've been offered a T350T by a dealer who claims it is finished in Polar Silver. He has sent me hi-res pictures, but ill be honest, i cant tell the difference between it and Brilliant Silver!

He claims that it has a blue finish to it, but im not convinced. Does anybody here know if there is such a colour, or is he making it up? If it does exist, does anybody have any pictures showing this 'blue finish' to it (it doesn't have to be on a T350!), it would be much appreciated.

TIA
Kevin

I've heard of Polar Silver before so I assume it is Ford or similar - have a look at the new car colour choices. Trefor does a Google ... Porsche.

It does look a bit blue. Nice.

After reading about the cracks in wings and other problems people have had I wouldn't blame you if you went for this car BTW. Lots of warranty

I had my Tamora painted in Polar silver back in the Spring of 2002 when I visited the factory and saw some classy examples coming off the Production line.

I was told at the time that is was a Porche colour, not one you get on Boxsters, but only found on 911's.

It compliments the black detail on the body superbly.

What's your E'mail address, I'll send some photos.

I came from a TT to a T350 and have no regrets what so ever. i guess it was the test drive that reeled you in.It always does. No dashpod faults here mate!!

LOL

I am trying, believe me im trying, but i can't seem to find a colour combo that i am happy with, or when i do find one there is a problem with the car itself. The problem is that as soon as a potential car comes along that 'seems' to fit my requirements, i need a day or so to stop beign excited and get a sense of clarity in my life, before making a firm decision!

5 years later im still on the TT-Forum and moderating. Total posts.... well its close to 7000 now, which isn't a bad PPD average.

As for the T350, i really am hooke. As i said in a previous posting, i have never been this excited about a car since i took delivery of my first TT back in 2000. The S2000 i have now has been a good stop gap for the past 12 months, but it doesn't conjour up the magic i am after in terms of the car feeling constantly special, which after driving the T350... it does!

I do have a few options in front of me though, so soon my constant boring initial posts will be over and i can enjoy driving!

Cheers

Kevin - thought I would add my two penneth as have read many of your posts searching for a T350t. I used to own a VX220 and vowed never to buy anything that I could not take the roof off again, however like you after seeing and having a go in a T350 I was hooked.

Many of your posts mention the wind noise issue with the t version which is what I also experienced, so I ended up buying a c with aircon and have not looked back! To be honest, I really do not miss the whole 'roof off' thing and am just glad I got the car I wanted that has not let me down since buying.

Good luck anyway and hope you find the one for you soon

Thanks CS.

I testdrove a T350C on a gloroiusly sunny day and to be honest i felt chlostrophobic, so I have decided that i can live with a little wind noise if it means getting that 'open' feeling when the sun is out. I just have to be patient to get the right car.

BTW, what colour is your 350? It looks stunning!

Thanks! Its called Balaeric Blue and has a green tint to it, although this never seems to show up very well in photos.

If you find the c too claustrophobic then it seems the t is the only one for you, so happy hunting and good luck
