I was tempted. But not seen one for real. Anyway, got to live with my choice now.

Main thing is going from 1.4 150ps manual A4 to 2.0 245ps DSG Golf! Can't wait!

mcmaddy, yes that does look very nice! I will post my Atlantic blue car on here when it comes. Will look nice on a sunny day, probably very dark and boring on a cloudy day.

Thanks John F. Colours are always a very subjective thing but I do love Tungsten.

The silver does look nice but not for me I think.  The indium grey is probably as light as I’d go.

I think Indium grey is the pick (in a limited enough bunch) of the current colours. There's a few very good pics of new GTI's in that colour on this forum.

Indium is too dark for me although if Tungsten is removed I'd probably look at it

That’s a good point on the tint!  I’ve got 65% on my match and it’s good enough I suppose.

Have you had to change your climate windscreen yet?  Is it a simple switch?  I only ask as on my wife’s A4, a windscreen change involved a half day out to an Autoglass in Bedford as the sensors all needed recalibration.  I’ve not had best of luck with stone chips 😩

Fortunately no replacement screen needed yet, it's bearing up pretty well considering the amount of motorway mileage sees. Like the reversing camera, it's a relatively inexpensive option that serves a useful purpose.

What was so complicated about the screen on the A4 that it required so much calibration? I know there is a camera behind the screen if you have lane assist.

“I wanted a silver car, but there is not genuine silver option on the GTI pp I ordered. Only white silver, or tungsten silver. So, I went for Atlantic Blue instead.”

Question:
Can any reader tell me why Reflex Silver has been such an unpopular choice on the Mk7 performance golfs? I think I have only seen one R, a few GTDs and a few GTIs in RS over the last 5 years. And VW deleted it for the 7.5.
I bought a new 3/17 v late 7 GTI in Reflex Silver just to get one, so fond am I of the colour.
I don’t know of another colour that shows the crease lines and concave curves as well in every light.
And it never looks dirty.

Thoughts anyone?

PS : anyone actually got a Reflex Silver car?

Very underrated colour, Tungsten Silver. Looks fantastic here;-
