GTDING - I agree totally - love the keyless!

I see we both share a love of the carbon grey colour too! :smiley:

Yes - I'm looking forward to see how Indium Grey actually looks, as that may have to be my colour of choice later this year.

Is Carbon grey actually pearlescent? I ask, because I swear I could see some different shades in the paint, when the sun was shinning on it..

Also, have they used Indium grey on a VW before?

Carbon Grey is metallic. Had it on my mk6 GTD and under certain lighting conditions, IMO it did have a green-ish hue to the colour.

Yes, it has a dark greenish hue in certain light - like looking at the sea on an overcast/rainy day.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
