I think the blue is really nice.  Much much rarer than white which near 50% of people have picked.  I considered changing from white to blue, but in the end stuck with the white.

Personally, I find the only colours to suit a GTI are red, black or white.  White is most popular because it is generally seen as the colour that suits it best and makes all the accents stand out.

I Kind of agree, though I would feel different if Viper Green was available, or Rising Blue for that matter.

Carbon Steel? Why is this not showing on the Configurator?

I have a driving video too. Will try to upload that one soon.

Here's is a short clip of the dealership's designated driver taking the car back after my test drive. He was really spanking the car earlier lol. He said it's one of the best cars he's driven and definitely the best golf he's ever driven.

I love the reverse light design on the gti. Love the sound it makes as he pulls out.

I think the Night Blue in the video actually looks awesome!  :laugh:

Why no Rising Blue? That's just the best colour ever. Similar to the DBP on my MK5 R32. That looked the dogs baubles!

Rising Blue - the colour of my Scirocco. Not sure i'd order it for my GTD though, much as I like the colour. I have only ever associated that shade on a Golf if it is an R32, I feel like it wouldn't look right on any other Golf than an R.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
