Reflex Silver or Shadow Blue MK6 GTI help me pick.
« on: 09 August 2009, 09:07 »
Right, I have got too see most the colours on the mk6 GTI now (excluding blue graphite) and have ruled alot of them out due to personal taste but im stuck and keep going back and forth between two colours and i HAVE to make my mind up sharpish. So im here to ask the experts.

I keep thinking shadow blue or reflex silver arrrrrrrr im hopless.  :undecided:

Mk6 GTI it will be a 5 door with 18s and xenons.

Help me decide please what colour as i keep changing my mind and from experience i make the wrong choices.














Any coments welcome but please don't say white/red/black/gray
Thank you for your time.

I like both colours (having owned 2 cars previously in similar colours)

specifically for the mk6 gti I've seen it in silver in the metal and it looked really good. quite a futuristic feeling - will be even more so with xenons :)  goes well with the alloys too.

the blue looks very nice, tho the pics below are perhaps overly shiny to make a fair judgement on it.  also i think it's less of a GTI colour and more an R32 colour!


if you pushed me , I'd go silver.

have you seen this? http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=123179.0

You could maybe persuade your dealer to order you one in a euro spec colour if you're really struggling to decide. If the sale is dependent on the colour choice the dealer may be quite accommodating!

I've had four met blue cars...so usually a big fan.  Not so sure with this one so tempted to suggest Silver but there are just too many silver/grey cars around...have you been to a BMW dealer forecourt recently?

I don't care for either colour, but IF they were the only 2 available, it would have to be silver. I had a Shadow Blue Golf PLus and a silver Eos and didn't really like either, but the Shadow Blue is particularly dull, IMHO.
