« Last post by BillSan on Today at 08:21 »Based on Google images of ID3s in that colour it looks like a standard black metallic i.e. not Pearl.

Golf mk8 / Re: Grenadilla?
« Last post by SRGTD on Today at 08:04 »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……
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.

« Last post by The_Doc on Today at 03:56 »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?

Golf mk7 / Re: Annoying, intermittent tapping noise from B pillar.
« Last post by Watts on 30 April 2024, 21:10 »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.

Golf mk8 / Grenadilla?
« Last post by Exonian on 30 April 2024, 20:06 »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 (well, it beats watching Corrie) and spotted a car in a slightly unusual shade. I clicked on it and it showed it listed as Grenadilla Black. A more in depth search turned up a few more listed in that shade including at least one R20 Years.
Can anybody shed any light on it?
