Gone back to white.  I think it is one of the cars that carries this colour well

Had a white mk 5 gti. Then went red for the edition 30. Back to white for the edition 35 (RIP)
Sticking with white again

Certainly never have another black car.

I've ordered white due to lack of other options tbh, it would've been carbon grey although did consider Limestone but i don't think it'd suit the GTI as well as the GT, the only others i looked at were sunset red which imo looks too orange in some lights and reflex silver, so pretty p!ss poor choices from VW this time round!! :angry:

I'm a bit disappointed with the new colour choices for the Mk 7 ... and don't understand why VW would drop Carbon Grey and introduce Urano Grey.

I just hope they keep Rising Blue (or equivalent) for the new R.

Hello everyone.  I've been lurking for a while as I'm thinking of taking the plunge and ordering a GTD.

I really had my heart set on Carbon Steel Grey for the colour after seeing it listed on the German website, so was gutted when it wasn't on the UK configurator.

To be honest I found the colours listed on the UK configurator a bit strange.  Previous GTI's seem to have had the full Golf range of colours, minus a few that aren't really "GTI", plus one or two special colours.

The German website seems to follow this trend (adding Carbon Steel, removing Urano Grey, Sunset Red and Pacific Blue).

It's probably wishful thinking, but does anyone else think the colours on the configurator might not be the final list?

I reckon give it a few weeks and carbon grey will be on the list.


Welcome btw :afro:

Slightly off topic, but I think Seat seem to have done a bit better with the colour choices for the new Leon than VW have with the Golf, even though they have fewer colours to choose from.

Subjective, I know, but I prefer Seat's metallic Apollo Blue, Montsant Red and Monsoon Grey to VW's equivalent metallic colours; Night Blue, Pacific Blue, Sunset Red or Limestone Grey. I think I'd quite like a GTI or GTD in Seat's Montsant Red, whereas I don't think I'd want VW's orangey-red Sunset Red. Seat also have a metallic (Nevada) white which is just over 1/2 the price (£475) that VW is charging for pearlescent Oryx White (£900).

Come on VW, give us some decent colours and bring back Carbon Grey too!

@ SF-GTD Firstly Welcome to the fold!

If you are seriously thinking of putting in a order then I wud do it asap as you probably know the GTI/D allocations are not that great.. and give the dealer a provisional colour choice but say to them that your preferred colour choice wud ideally be Carbon Grey ect and ask them to call you if the colour becomes available in the next few weeks ect so you can change your colour choice before your car goes to " build week confirmed"  after which things can't be changed from your order...


Just my 2p worth...
