Colour was a dilemma for me too, but saw TR in the metal and decided to go for it. I've never had a red car before and currently have a white one so can see why you want to change from red to a different colour. The CSG is a nice looking colour, although the white examples that have been posted on here look awesome.

Go for the colour YOU want, not what others think looks good or what the trend is or might be.  If it's a toss-up between two colours, you should end up happy either way, but if you really want white, go for white.  If you know you'll be happy with CSG, stick with it.

Having said that, there is just something about white that really suits the GTI.  As Running Man already implied, it's a classic look for the GTI, and will definitely hold its own against any other colour, now and in the future.

My neighbour two doors up has a metallic silver GTI mk5. Always have a nosey every time I walk past. Looks great actually. White is the new silver!

Possibly one of the worst colours for a GTI, but that's just my opinion! ;)

I dunno

I was considering limestone grey, then before I ordered I asked the dealer if he had any car in limestone on site, he had a basic golf.. Truly awful IMO very washed out, not a gti colour at all.

It does seem white is the new silver though, not many on here have ordered silver, but then as I discovered you have to go with gut feel and what YOU want. 

On YouTube I saw a nice red metallic I think and the Paris show electric blue colour.  I think they offered too many off grey colors and should have given more choice of metallic blues and reds..
