They are both Clubsports which are different!

Are you saying we can't vote Jim!? ;-)

The tungsten looks really nice actually and dare I say it, the standard Parker wheels are growing on me!

Of course not! I just meant the OP is getting a 7.5 so might want to see pics of facelift ones! For me, the CS looks so good in any colour as it's so much more aggressive.  :smiley:

Kind of swaying towards the pure white now. Pics look amazing and i have been hearing a lot the white silver metallic only looks good under lighting in a show room. Can look a dull grey when outside.

Really liking the indium grey too, anyone have some more pics of their own indium grey cars?

FWIW I liked White Silver on the web, but then I saw it in the metal - oh dear.  Looks like undercoat in anything bar bright sunshine, IMO. I have a red GTI, so of course prefer that colour.  Followed by Tungsten Silver.  White is nice, too - especially Oryx.

Have you looked on VW’s website in the used cars section? Loads of GTI’s in pretty much all the available colours and usually 7-8 or more pictures of each car. You can set the filters in the advanced search facility to narrow down the results to specific models and colours.

You did a cracking job on it Jim!!

After having 2 pure white GTIs and a candy white GT TDI back in the day, I think I might have a thing for white cars!

I think the metallic colours always looks great but I do still like how the details stand out against the white.

DaBaws I did love my 7.5 GTI but I decided rather than make it look like a Clubsport at great expense, I would actually get a 2nd hand Clubsport!

Deep Black Pearl!  :grin:

It's a stinker to keep clean, and shows every minor scratch, but I love it and wouldn't change it now.  I did original go with the intention of buying pure white, but there weren't any in the channel, and I got a really good deal on my car.

I'm also in that minority group that love the Parker Wheels  :cool:  I think there are about two of us in total.

I checked out most/ all of the available colours at a couple of VW dealers.  Eliminated the 'don't like thats' and arrived at no. 1 Indium Grey and 2. Pearl Deep Black.
Unfortunately, I could not find No.1 choice in the specification I wanted - so went for the Pearl Deep Black - good choice and absolutely chuffed with it!
