Drive the deal - Skoda Fabia

I was going to buy a Skoda Fabia Monte (Standard Red with black roof) from Drive the Deal, but when I was going through the process I noticed an option saying 'Special Solid Paint' for an additional £500.

I have looked everywhere on the Skoda website and the only option is metallic. So be careful when choosing options as they maybe adding things you don't really need.

Often, these days, there are only one or two standard colours. All the others, whether solid, metallic or mica are extra cost.
