Thinking of going to look at one. Never owned one because im still on my first car. I like to keep my cars clean and just want your opinions if you have owned one. i.e do you go out the house every morning and see another scratch or dint?

Black is the easiest colour to see defects, so if you get a dint, you will see it.

i've owned 2 black cars.
they look amazing when clean but get dirty very easy and also show up dents/any mark whatsoever very easily.

TBH coming from a silver car, anything will seem worse to keep on top of and you'll notice more marks. But black is probably the worst of the bunch.
Do look good when clean though

I'm not a bufty and don't get a boner over clean cars or whatnot, but it was a proper twat to keep it looking like it wasn't haggered to death

Never again will I own a black car Look amazing when clean but looks awful if you don't keep on top of it. As said, any dent/scratch/swirl you will notice as soon as the sun is out.

I've had 4 black cars now, always so very again but when you see a nicely polished black car I think they look awesome.

They do show up all the dirt and every single mark, but it's worth it when it's clean  You need to invest in some tyre shine as well though as it will make tyres look grey/brown
Get this man on the case and you won't look back:

Personally I would say it is definitely worth it for when it's clean, but imo the C suits black more than the B. Unless you're not going for another Corsa in which case that's completely irrelevant
