All the best and enjoy the car 🚙

Enjoy your new car, post some pictures when you get the time.

Picked up my Denim Blue XC60 today.

Yes, it's a very flat colour. Very little if any noticeable sparkles in the paintwork.

I like it....although it's taking a bit of getting used to after my Crystal White one (lots of sparkle and pearlecsense).

Looks fantastic with the blond interior.

Will post first impressions shortly.....it's like flying a spaceship with all the tech!

Punch it Chewie.......

Have changed my mind about it being a very flat colour.

It is on a dull day...but when the sunshine comes out...so do the metallic sparkles!

You are absolutely right, I've just been out and had a close look at mine. Sparkling in the sunshine, but dull on the shady side, not huge sparkles though, which is why they probably don't show on a dull day.
