Reflex Silver or Shadow Blue MK6 GTI help me pick.

With those pics I would say the silver... but in all honesty the blue will look better in the flesh.

Hmm, I'm really not so sure. Shadow blue looks quite good in the sun (gives it kind of an electric blue tint), but to be perfectly honest, most of the time it's a pretty dull colour. Here's a picture of my Golf Plus in Shadow Blue. I know the Plus is boring to begin with, but the picture is a fairly accurate rendering of the colour:

I got to see a shadow blue one pre-PDI at the local vw dealer today and im non the wiser for it.

Personally I would have it in Silver if the only choice was between those 2 colours.

I know you said not to say it, but what about a White or Red car, taking it back to one of the original GTi colours...?

I've seen both of those colours in the flash and they look absolutely fantastic on the Mk6 GTi.

Im a huge bore when it comes to GTI history especially when its the beloved mk1, Its not well known that the two original GTI colours in 1976 were Senegal Red and Diamond Silver. White became available in 1978 but only in Germany. Im a sad git when it comes to the mk1

I have seen all the colours on mk6 GTIs in the flesh except graphite blue.
Red i ruled out as my father was a fireman everytime i see bright red i think fire engine so not for me.
White i like from a distance but close up im not a fan at all.
Black is too hard to look after.
Steel gray blend in far too well with the road surface colour round here the amount of times i have seen near misses when cars are that colour.
Carbon Gray is totally different to every photo i have seen its very metallic more or less anthrosite(sp?) colour in some lights less gray more like black. In the end its gray or black in colour so ruled out as above.
That left me with the reflex silver or shadow blue.

I voted for Silver.

I wouldnt pick either of those colours given the choice though. But its still a GTI and it will look the dogs danglies regardless of colour.

Good job you don't live in Germany, I don't think you'd ever get to see all the colours they get My carbon grey (anthracite) was parked next to a black TDI on delivery day and the two colours look very different when you see them together.

the blue looks very dull

My wife wanted ours in silver and I wasn't sure on the choice but now we have it.........looks fantastic. Go for the silver, it  really suits the car and where silver has been so over done over the last decade now people are choosing other colours and actually silver is becoming less of a common sight in brand new cars especially the GTI.

I'm sorry but I don't think either colour suits the GTI but if it was down to them being the only 2 colours available I'd go for silver, that blue is defo not a GTI colour.

I know this will probably upset a few of you but imo the only colours in the UK specs for me are Black (obviously cos I chose it) red or white.

Sorry but we are all allowed our personal opinions.
