I've heard it said you enjoy black cars on only two days - the day you buy it and the day you sell it! 


You heard wrong.  :wink:

I heard it from my neighbour who had just sold his black car!  :laugh:

Obviously a fair weather black car owner.  :tongue:

You will be pleased to know after a decade or so of red cars he just bought............another black car!

It's obviously the former.  Just wait till you can use your GTI paintwork to shave in.  :smiley:

Ordered a new one !! 😁
Just had an email with the order number. Currently showing as week 5 build. Not bothered as not picking it up until March1st
As much as I love the R I have decided I don’t need all the performance in the real world and I don’t regret having it but ordered a Mk7.5 GTi Performance DSG 5dr and ticked a fair few options boxes ✅
Deep Black Pearl (probably live to regret this )
Vienna Leather
Panoramic Sunroof
Dynaudio
19” Brescia Alloys
Rear View Camera
Park Assist
Voice Activation
90% Tints
Led Headlights with Dynamic Light Assist

Very nice spec but DBP :cry:


Love black cars and I don’t do the detailing thingy just wash it and polish it a few times.

Wash, polish, then seal your hard work with either a wax or a ceramic sealant or else the polishing is wasted effort!
NOW - 330e M Sport
GONE - 2018 Mk7.5 GTI Performance 5dr DSG, Tungsten Silver, 2017 Mk7.5 GTI 5dr DSG, Indium Grey

Yes.  I like to keep my legs silky smooth just like my R's paintwork.  :kiss:  I've tried using the Swissvax to wax them but it's a waste of a great wax, so razor it is!  :grin:
