Hi all

I have just picked up my new Holden Volt - hence the 'u' in colour - from Barry Bourke Holden in Berwick, Victoria, Australia.

Not being enamoured with any of the standard colours available here in Australia I first looked at a completer re-paint but that turned to to be far too high a cost on top of an already expensive car.

After much discussion with the blokes at the dealership I came across a company a few suburbs away called Exotic Graphix which specialises in the vinyl wrapping of all sorts of vehicles from Lambo's, SUV's, 'bikes, trucks, boats and aircraft.

Liaising with them I came up with a colour scheme I liked and gave the go ahead with the following two-tone Volt

I am very pleased with the result and love the look of my new car almost as much as I love driving it.

I am certain that the future holds many more electric cars, be they battery or fuel-cell powered, the driving characteristics are just so much better than with an ICE powered vehicle.

The only drawback I have found with the Volt, and that is because I have not yet got used to the car, is the poor visibility, especially when reversing. I am sure that once I am fully familiar with the reversing camera and the outside dimensions of the vehicle I will have no problems at all.

To pinch the current Mitsubishi sales slogan; LOVE THAT CAR!

Cheers

Dale

Very distinctive, Dale!

Yeah, looks great! Neat color (er, colour!) scheme!

I had issues with the rear visibility of my Volt too, when I first got it. But I did get (mostly) used to it. The A-pillars, too, but I'm definitely extra careful when looking to the front corners now.

Is black and gold (Go Hawks!) or black and yellow?

Cheers & congratulation, Definetly a new stand out Bumbble Bee look.

Agree on the colour choices (limited range with Australian names for standard US ones)

It's black and yellow which are Richmond's colours - The Tigers

hawthorn, the Hawks, are brown & yellow.

As it happens I don't follow either, but it is one of the first things most people here ask "Richmond supporter?"

Is black and gold (Go Hawks!) or black and yellow?
