Goodbye Pearl, hello Ruby

[RCZ1]

Here's three photos - the old and the new

Since you've seen them side by side: are there any other differences between the classic (love that word) one and the facelifted one besides the front?

There are little differences in the interior - More little chrome touches, leather in the middle of the door cards and of course the roof arches but personally for me it's different in that I have the sport pack and Sat Nav, which both make the interior feel different. I'm personally a big fan of the new front. To me, it's more grown up.

Got lovely comments from my neighbours (makes a change - they normally mock my detailing :lol who said they really liked the colour and the black arches.

Have to say it looks very nice. With the black arches, is this part of the black pack? If so, what do you get with this as I'd assumed the mirrors would also be black as well as the arches? I ask this purely out of interest not because I think it needs them, it's just on others they all seem to have black arches and black mirrors so thought it was part of one 'pack'.

No probs If you order the black pack you get black roof arches, wing mirrors and full black grill BUT you can order the items individually so you don't have to have the full pack. Its obviously cheaper optioning the black pack too rather than each item individually. I didn't option the full pack, just the arches. I prefer wing mirrors to be body coloured but that's just my personal preference. Hope that answers your question

My question was related to the outside But it looks as if it would really be only the front. Good!

Yep :thumbup:

So far hard-core PUG fans disagree with me when I mention this, but I was VERY happy when I saw the first photo of a facelifted RCZ. They changed the only thing I did not 100% like

Tom, yes it's only the front that's changed on the exterior. Nothing else was needed IMO

Any news on your retrimmed interior yet RCZ1?!

 

[RCZ1]

I'm waiting on a call from the leather man to say its landed back at his unit. Then I can take Ruby to be refitted, hopefully next week.
Fingers crossed and all that

I saw a white one at the dealership the other day with black arches and they do look very nice. If I am correct they are wrapped as opposed to painted?

I would love to see the red, with black arches and black wheels, that would look very nice.

 

[RCZ1]

The black arches are wrapped rather than painted, which is good because it means no stone chips :thumbup:

I can't really comment on Moroccan red with black wheels as I'm not a fan of black alloys, but hey, each to their own
