  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Just got it for 4 days, loving it so far. Blue interior is nicer than the photos/vids I see online. Got an appointment to do ceramic coating next week.

Love the rare ultramarine blue interior with the contrasting red trim/seat belts. Beautiful. Just had my Cardiff Green GV70 ceramic coated with Adams products. Congrats and good luck.

Yeah, I love the red seatbelt and contrast red stitching. However, I actually wanted the red interior (white or red exterior), but the wife thought it was 'too much.' Wife wins out 11 out of 10 times...but I still love the blue because of the touch of red. Also, looks like it'll age better and more relaxed cabin for night time driving.

One of the best color combinations on GV70! Congrats!
 
New owner here. I really liked the white being in Florida, but when I saw the blue with the Havana Brown interior, I was reminded of a Bentley. I have to fight the wife just to drive it now.20220106_132357.webp20220106_132828.webp

That combination is beautiful. Where did you find it? I searched far and wide with no luck.

Genesis of arlington, 20 mins north of Boston. I originally settled for red on black because it was supposed to arrive shortly. Slept on it and realized if I was gonna put down $54k, I should get a color combo I loved, so I asked the sales person what he had coming in the near future. Saw a red on blue on their list (also wanted a white/red on red)...and rest is history. Loving the interior more each day. The outside, I still miss my Mazda soul red crystal, that was the nicest red.

Can you post pics of the interior? I’m on the fence between the red and blue? I’ve ordered a blue exterior with red interior but the inverse sounds like a cool combo as well.
 
Here are a couple of pics. With the Ultramarine Blue you get the red stitching and seatbelts. Not sure what the black stitching is.

Re the speckles in the Cardiff Green exterior paint color. I don't have the greatest camera but here are a couple of photos where hopefully you can see what I am talking about of how remarkable this color looks in the bright sunlight. Looks totally different on a cloudy day or near dusk.
That is a beautiful color. When I was looking to buy I had my choice of grey or silver. I should have waited and taken the time to keep searching. Although I had been looking to purchase a new car for about a year. Test drove so many. I even bought a Lincoln Nautilus and gave it to my daughter. By then I was ready for a new car. I went with grey advanced+. Happy with it except seats are way toooo firm and has been very uncomfortable on long road trips. Now I will be throwing more money toward getting seats re-upholstered.
 
And just to add to the Vik Black love fest…

My wife's is the white. Didn't think we would like it, until we saw it in person. Loved the car so much I went and bought the Matte Burgundy for myself. Love both of them.

Awesome. Glad to see I’m not the only one who bought two GV70s!
 
I wanted to get the Melbourne Gray but dealerships in my area rarely sell any matte paint finishes. Instead purchased the 2.5 prestige in Himalayan Gray with red interior and wrapped entire vehicle in DYNOMATT paint protection film. Now my GV70 has a Melbourne Gray with satin finish look.
It looks great!

I have two questions:

- What is the cost of wrapping the whole vehicle like this, if you don't mind sharing?

- Matte paint is not carwash-friendly (Even touchless because the soap can contain some wax), is this still an issue that could affect the film or is that option carwash-safe?

Thanks!

I was lucky to find a shop that was having a sale on their paint protection film and paid $5000 for entire wrap. Other shops were charging me around 6-8k.

I haven’t personally taken it to a car wash yet since I hand wash my car and the soap I use is specifically for matte/ppf. The PPF I have is self healing, hydrophobic, and anti decontamination so it’s been really easy to wash. Dirt and water comes right off and usually wash my car every 3 to 4 weeks.

Thanks for the info and enjoy your ride! 🙂
