I must be in a minority of one liking both Black Ruby and the Parkers......unfortunately/fortunately* I think the Black Ruby has been discontinued.

Yes Brown Rubin as discontinued, Pure White is now the free colour.

"Purple Nasty" was really unpopular. In fact, I've only ever seen one on the road.

I always thought it was VW's attempt to suck more money out of people - I certainly spent money not to have it.

Swapping to white as the free colour might sting them though - seems Pure White is the most popular now.

Anyway, the poll results bear this out.

Had a white and a Carbon Steel Grey MK7 GTD's and both looked great (if I'm honest I think I preferred the Carbon Steel Grey). Only trouble with both is that they showed the dirt and marks very easily.


I now have an Indium Grey GTI, and I don't know what it is about that colour, but it seems to look like it stays cleaner (at least from distance) much more than the other two, and as it's a much lighter grey, doesn't show paint defects like swirling and hologramming any where near as much as the Carbon Steel Grey.

Had 2 white Gti’s, one being an edition 35 which was my favourite. 1 red mk7 pp, 1 Mk6 in carbon grey and a mk5 in blue graphite. Now that was nice! Didn’t see many in that colour though.

Isaac Blue on the GTI/GTD is similar to Blue Graphite.

Absolutely. After seeing Isaac blue at my local dealers I thought it looked really good. V similar to blue graphite. It’s probably a colour you have to see in the flesh to appreciate it.
