Tungsten Silver 7.5, cleaning afternoon.
« on: 20 August 2017, 17:23 »
Had my TS GTI PP a little over a month now. Outstanding car. Here it is alongside my friends Mk 7 Tornado Red.

They both look fantastic but I can't help but notice how much nicer the Austins are compared to the Parkers, in my opinion of course.
I'm sure many owners of the facelift GTI will strongly disagree....even though they would be wrong :wink:

Looks great. I'm really starting to warm to Tungsten silver recently.

Both look great, I do like the silver but am biased towards TR, particularly when it has the correct number of doors :wink:

Both Parkers and Austins look good, prefer my Santiagos but if I was changing then I wouldn't be disappointed with the 18s. Especially come buying time for tyres, a full set due for mine before winter :cry:

Nice, thats the first 7.5 GTI PP i have spotted on here.

How does yours sound compared to the 7?

That looks very like a GEF btw! Which one?

Funny you ask that, we compared sound and the 7.5 sounds a lot deeper and has a more prominent 'warble' at idle.

Yes, this is Benson.

Looks great Ritchie2. I'm not usually a fan of silver cars, but Tungsten really suits the mk7.5 GTI with the contrasting black trim on the bumpers and sills, and the red GTI accents.

Your mates Tornado Red mk7 GTI looks great too!

I've got a Tungsten Silver 7 GTi pp and think it's the best colour for a GTi. I really do not like the Parker alloys on the 7.5 and would need to change them for something else.

Parkers seem to be marmite? I like them but can see where people are coming from.

The Tungsten really is a great colour though. You will be surprised how it changes based on where you are, weather and lighting.

Car looks great except for the wheels, sorry but your mates wheels look a lot better. Had they still been available I would have been having 18s on my new incoming GTi but as they are not available then it's a Brescia upgrade as a very easy decision.
