It should be renamed Limestone beige as it always looks way more beige than grey to me, I'm not a fan but colour is a very personal choice so no right or wrong.

It can look fantastic in the right light, like in this video

But as others have said, under dull British skies it can look quite beige a lot of the time.

I keep seeing a LSG R in and around Coventry on my travels and it looks sweet as with Prets. Stunning colour and was on my shortlist of colours when deciding on mine.

It looks plain on a lower a model/non performance model Golf(not being a snob) so don't let that put you off of it.

Yours looks great ajmoir36. Shows off Limestone Grey at its best.

LSG is offered as one of the (limited range of colours) for the new Polo GTI. Problem is, if you select LSG, you have to have a hideous dark pink-ish red dash panel. With other paint colour options, you can have a grey dash panel.

I think its probably the least spec'ed colour of them all, below even the dreaded purple...

If you want exclusivity, its probably the way to go, but there is a reason...
