Post your 7.5 GTI exterior pics in here please - solve my colour conundrum

[Fewie]

Guys

Can I ask you all to post any 7.5 GTI exterior pics you have or find in here please?  I'm really struggling to select my colour (I've gone tungsten but can still change) so need some help.

When it comes to things like this I'm a bit OCD as well, so it helps if the photos are of gti's with the red trim rather than the silver of the GTD.  with the new colours on the 7.5 too and the comparative rarity of the GTI I'm struggling to see physical vehicles too which would always help.

I'll update the thread too with any good pics I find, I'm spending half my life on the #GolfGTI tag on insta at the moment.

Thanks in advance for the assistance

Sorry no photos. However, I had the exact same problem and agonised over this for weeks. If you see any Tungsten Silver Golf you can compare how the colour contrasts against the rear lights. It is probably the easiest colour to keep looking clean. Though, in the end, I decided it was too conservative a colour for a GTI.

I see you have ordered 19inch alloys. Many people recommend DCC + 19inch alloys, unless you are happy with a really firm riding car.

There is a load of photos already posted on here. It is not exactly a large amount of colour to chose from.

Also and please done take offence but as someone that knows someone actually with OCD I do wish people would learn what it is before saying they're a bit OCD

@ I wanted a GTI, I don't mean to cause offence, perhaps poor choice of words on my part.

I've trawled this forum and others and I'm struggling to find real world photos of the GTi in some of the newer colours, hence my request.

@ Daz Auto, until recently my car history was mainly cup pack equipped Renault Sport cars so in comparison the 19" equipped cars I have test driven have rode well (especially when compared to the wife's mini on 17" run flats)

@ David25, that's the best photo I've seen of tungsten, thank you for posting

Always worth checking the used cars section of VW's website. Dealers are now advertising facelift demos for sale and there's currently Pure White, Black Pearl, Black Rubin and Atlantic Blue mk7.5 GTI's for sale with photos (some with videos) in the used car section.

People used to post their new car photo's in the new arrivals thread above. It was a pretty good one-stop-shop for things like this. But it seems to have gotten a bit fragmented of late.

I don't think you'd regret your choice of Tungsten at a later date. It's a really cool colour imo and quite rare on a GTI as far as I can tell.
