It's difficult to tell the difference with white at the best of times but that Oryx white needs to really pop to justify £900! :shocked:
Currently pootling around in our family wagen, a Tiguan SEL 😂

Is it available on all models, might've been nice for it to be a limited colour for the R or something? Not sure I'll be able to handle my third white car!

Now that sold white is £200 when you get the chance to see Oryx white £700 more for it will seem worth it.

I think we have a 1.2 polo match coming in to stock in Oryx white : )

Lee, that sounds like a womans way of justifying the cost "It's not £900, it's ONLY £700 more". A bit like "I had to buy these shoes. They were a bargain. They were half price"  :grin: :grin: :wink:
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Surely she'd be more productive behind the controls of a washing machine?

Roger that

or the cooker - don't forget the cooker!

Double roger that  :grin:

Pffffffft, deal with it. There are far too many white cars out there now, I really dislike it. They should charge people for it to stop what was once a 'rare' colour becoming the most popular!  :whistle:

They are trying to make white rare or premium again with "Oryx White" its only £930 on the Mk7

Note, if anyone has a real world picture, please post it!

Google images Tiguan summit! Awesome colour......I believe way back Doc considered buying a Tiguan summit which all came in oryx white with baseball brown leather.

Like this one?



Yes, and that's actually one of the cars I enquired about - think it was on the Shetlands
