  • 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.

Pics of my G70

I also snapped a few pictures of it sitting next to an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio at the car wash I went to today since I killed a few bugs along the trip. The Alfa has a purple hue that is missing from the G70.

Picked mine up yesterday in Michigan and just finished an 1100 mile drive back home since they still have no inventory here in Colorado. :mad: 3.3T AWD Prestige, Adriatic/Grey.

It was a great way to get familiar with the car and especially the cruise control, LOL

Now all that is left is getting my hands on a set of the 19" Prestige rims.

I might be the only Colorado G70 owner on the forum.

Enjoy your new ride! Looks really nice.
 
I applied a ceramic coating about 3 weeks ago and took this walk around video after finishing. Did a full paint prep before hand of course.
  1. Wheel & tire cleaner
  2. Pre foam and rinse
  3. Hand wash and rinse
  4. Iron remover
  5. Tar remover where needed
  6. Clay
  7. Wash and dry
  8. Polish with a fine finishing polish and finishing pad (my paint is well looked after so no need for heavier compounds)
  9. Paint prep
  10. Apply ceramic coating to paint and door jambs
  11. Apply top coat
  12. Apply windshield coating
  13. Apply wheel coating

Here is close up pic of the paint from about 3 inches after polishing. Pretty much flawless.

Really...I thought the G70 was...with that sexy side ass ;)

What’s the G70?

72.8" or something. Genesis probably doesn't count Alfa as a competitor so they didn't mention it since the benchmark is the 3 series.

Outstanding!!! Now I'm not the only one who bought out of state, much less Michigan. You didn't get yours from Genesis of Troy, did you?

No, I got it from Genesis of Holland
 
The Alfa shown may be a Ti, but it's not a Quadrifoglio. Same body and colors, though.
I'm shopping G70, Giulia, and Jag I-Pace. Probably gonna go Genny. I really appreciate the side-by-side photos, especially since I plan to go blue!

Wow. Insane how good that looks. Before the G70 I would have never considered a blue car (or red, or white). Now I have to see all these colors in person before deciding!

Thumbs Up! Car looks great!
 
SirFrederick: Brilliant job! And you saved yourself +/- $800, which is what I've paid for my last three cars. (And will pay again when I've finally made my purchase.)
