Pics don't do TR justice. Once it's waxed it's such a deep red. But I am biased!  :laugh:

Where are these other pics you were going to post Mark?  :smiley:

I know! I'll do them tomorrow, didn't get back till late today and currently f7cked off as Liverpool are losing to the scum so not in the best of moods  :laugh:

Totally off subject but they don't deserve to lose this match. Been the far better team and Suarez is absolute class!

He is pure class - and he's not even fit! Didn't deserve to lose, Giggs should have been sent off for a second yellow, and the look on that (unt Moyes' face makes me want to punch the tele.

Sorry for going OT - aaaaaaand breathe  :laugh:

In most of the pics I find myself regretting not getting the red, but then I see the red in daylight and it looks pinkish. Then I think that the white looks amazing!

So I have no idea lol

Raw TR looks pinkish but once it's got some product on it's a hot red with an orange rather than pink hue.

Very deep and hot red with a bit of product on - like Flash Red (Polo)  :cool: rather than Salsa Red (Scirocco)  :sick:

If you like cleaning your car every day and don't fear swirl marks then get the black. If you want a car that looks fantastic in all lighting and will stand up to being washed once a week as well as having good contrast with the black trim then get red,

Red.
The first mk7 I saw was my local dealer's demo which I took photos of at the beginning of June and it looked dull as hell and people commented on it on here.
The next mk7 I saw was my local dealer's demo GTD in July or August when my car went in for a service. It looked shiny and deep and really good.
Obviously the GTI had only just arrived when I saw it and the sales guys just put it out on the road so they could tool around in it and it wasn't prepped properly, once it had something on the paint it looked stunning.
Both cars parked together looked awesome.

My 'other' car is black. Nightmare. Utter nightmare.

I saw a number of reds GTDs when trying to decide what to go for and I thought they looked great with the silver GTD lines as opposed to the red on the GTI.

In my opinion red works better on the GTD compared to the GTI.

From a distance though you would be hard pushed to tell the difference
