We have the Atlantic Blue, I didn't want black, white, red, silver or grey in flat or metallic at the time as we had done those colours to death and we found a dealer with an Atlantic Blue in stock who offered a good deal on our p/x. It is a bit of a "strong" colour and I wasn't sure when we first got it, but have come to like it, it seems to contrast especially well with the red GTi badges the Performance model has.

I keep it fastidiously clean,  and the car always attracts compliments wherever we go in it..............

But if I had a free choice it would be Isaac blue..............

No regrets, but I chose Atlantic Blue  :laugh:

(It was an unregistered car from stock, bought after the books had closed so there wasn’t much choice!)

under that light, I think Atlantic blue looks beautiful.

Never considered any other colour than Indium Grey, one collection day when I saw it with the red detailing under the lights, looked perfect.
Horses for courses though.

I have the Dark Iron Blue Metallic, and I really like, don't actually think I have seen another one this colour.
Does look dirty quickly tho and the paint seems quite soft as I have picked up a few bonnet chips although it has done quite a few motorway miles:sad:

The paint is quite soft, although it does harden over time.

I've quite a few stone chips on the front of mine, most of them are from the first winter I had the car.

Dropped in at the local VW Dealership - the Demo was a 3 door Manual Isaac Blue car with Art Velours and Bresicas ..... bought it in 20 minutes- loved the combo.

My last GTi back in 05 was a Mk5 in Bleu Graphite, bought in left hand drive as I was living in France..I love the contrast of the dark blue next to the red details.

We get a lot of compliments about the car when it’s out and about.


Let’s hope we get Oak Green on the Mk8.

When I finally decided on the R it was always going to be lapiz. It’s a beautiful colour and very rare indeed.  :wink:

Saw an Atlantic blue R on black prets though the other day and that colour combo was lovely.

Oak green on the Mk8 would be stunning.
