Some good images of the Isaac blue....

That looks fantastic.
I said it before but it's really like the old blue graphite on the MK5.

More Black Rubin pretty plz! Poor lessee here...

Just signed up to check out what others are saying. I'll be picking up my Black Rubin 3dr on the 30th so will post some pics

Excellent! :)

Here's a link to Listers in Stratford advertising a GTD in black Rubin

I was there today to drop off my car for the now list of over 10 faults and was told the loan car had an excess of £2500 pounds, told them to piss off and drove home.

Ouch, what are the faults?

Loads of rattles
Various problems with the Discover nav and Bluetooth
The rear of the car tries to pass the from under heavy breaking
The climate control isn't that cold
Fuel filler opens when it wants
Knocking rear suspension
Auto hold turns itself off without touching any pedals
Drivers seat is broken
Keys not recognised by car even after new batteries
Sometimes only one mirror will fold
Sometimes the passenger mirror won't dip on reverse
Sometimes the right mirror indicator doesn't work
5 door GTD in night blue collected 1/3/17

That'd be enough to annoy most folks. When did you pick up the car and what is it?

If that list is for real I'd be parking the car outside their door and telling them to keep it. It'll never be right and the dealer monkeys will make things worse before anything gets better. A serious ballache awaits.

Quite bizarre though because I've never heard of a MK7 with such an array of issues.

You've got no choice but to drive it into a field and set fire to it.

Forgot to add that the drivers door speaker has a rattle or is faulty, even on low volume with a heavy base it sound like a nova from the 80's

It looks like I have bitten my nails but they are actually my knuckles.

It does look great and would be my colour of choice.

Agree with you Joe on it looking very similar to blue graphite, which I think was also available on the mk6 as I remember going through the Carbon Grey or Blue Graphite conundrum when I bought my mk6 GTD.
2020 Polo GTI Plus; Pure White, DSG (because they all are)
Gone but not forgotten;
2016 Polo GTI; Blue Silk
2011 mk6 Golf GTD; Carbon Grey

Well they seem to think that I've got a lemon and have offered a new facelift as a replacement for mine.

That sounds like a good result!
