Custom Colour

[Marcus007]

Do VW offer a custom colour service on the GTI similar to that offered by Audi. The GTI is probably going to be my next car but none of the standard colours do it for me, thanks.

They do for "zee jeermans". Look on Volkswagen.de, go to their configurator (using google chrome browser is easiest so you can translate, unless German is a second language to you). There are 24 additional colours - a range of reds, blues, yellows, greys and greens in the range of 1720 euros to 2140 euros. Whether VW UK would allow you to spec for a UK market order is another matter. Hopefully you'd be able to find quite a few of those colours on other cars in the VW range so you can visualise them "in the flesh" (albeit on a different car).

I asked the dealer when i ordered my ED35 and they were told no, just the standard colours...

Did you have something in mind Marcus?

[Marcus007]

A lighter metallic blue maybe like estoril blue on some of the bmws.

So basically this?

Jimble you are an absolute genius, that is exactly what I want. When I get back from my hols I am going down to the VW dealership laptop in hand and I will say 'that is what I want, can you do it!!' Thanks very much. What does everyone else think about the colour?

Your welcome, there was quite a bit of talk about that colour when the 7 was shown at the paris motor show and i think most people loved it, myself included but they showed the 6 in the same way but it was never available in the UK.

It would be my first colour of choice and I would pay the premium. It's just gorgeous. But you're going to be disappointed mate because VW don't offer it here. Such a shame really.

Marcus007, if the general rule is that you can't have one of the custom colours, then there have been exceptions to this in the past. There was a yellow mk6 GTI for sale a couple of years ago which was one of the custom colours available on the mk6 in Germany; pictures in the link below;

The thread below includes the list of colours that were available in Germany on the mk6;

I really like the blue in the picture posted by Jimble, but don't know if I'd like it enough to pay the equivalent of €1700 or more. Must admit, it does look good though!
