Golf mk8 / Re: Grenadilla?
« Last post by JoeGTI on 01 May 2024, 13:29 »
The ID range has "Grenadil black" and it's just regular black metallic. I've seen it in the metal and it doesn't look any different to the metallic black on the MK8.

I really hope  VW haven’t resurrected Black Ruben.

"Black ruben".... aka "purple nasty"

Worst colour ever to grace a golf IMHO

Based on Google images of ID3s in that colour it looks like a standard black metallic i.e. not Pearl.

As far as I was always aware the Golf R could only be specced in Pearl Black, White or Blue.

I have no idea how or why I ended up there but I found myself scanning through incoming stock of R’s and Clubsports

I think you’ve secretly got an urge to be an early adopter of a mk8.5 R or Clubsport; you’ve had your current mk8 R now for a few months now so it must be time for a change…… :whistle: :grin:

Maybe Grenadilla Black is the new Black Ruben (a.k.a. Purple). For those not familiar with Black Ruben; Google it and have a look at the images.

Grenadilla is one of the new paint finishes for the MK8.5, along with Crystal Ice Blue Metallic, Anemone Blue Metallic, and Oyster Silver. As for it being in an R, is it maybe a new mane for the old colour?

Your local TPS should be able to order them for you, some won't deal with the public though.

Awesome, thank you! I’ll give them a buzz

Thanks very much for the replies and suggestions, my wing mirror now dips when in reverse and returns to normal position when I go forward - great result!

I had the door card clips replaced on mine which solved a similar sounding issue. Try pressing the top of the rear door card in the top corner and around just behind the pillar to see if that helps.
