Lumina Orange, Speed Blue, Kiwi Green and ’stealth shade’ Furia Grey are the four new custom colours offered by Spanish sporty car maker SEAT.

These new top tones add £550 to the price of a new SEAT, and come on the back of the firm’s success with selling Ibiza and Leon models in Candy White.

It’s hard to believe that the latter colour, seen more often on police cars and small vans, would turn out to be a best-seller, but SEAT shifted 886 white models through its showrooms in the first seven months of 2008.
