It has been available since the launch of the facelift VW Up.

It is a stunning colour and one that I will certainly be ordering my next R demo in.

Reflex is better IMHO - perhaps it'll make the last few MK7's worth more  :evil:

Will need to see really to compare.
Reflex silver was what I was trying to hunt down recently without any luck. Saw it on the Passat tonight and it's such a nice colour.

Funny how tastes change. Reflex silver (or silvers like that) were "the" colour to have in the late '90's, early 2000's. Every second MK4 Golf was silver. A silver MK7 is a rare sight.

I think Indium grey will be the choice colour. I reckon that'll look really well with the GTI's red bits.

It's a shame there are no other exclusive R colours apart from Lapis blue to really make it stand out from the crowd

Have they dropped the GTI Performance model in the UK now, or is this coming at a later date?
... I have been told May 4th  :sad:

May the fourth be with you :grin:

I wonder why the performance pack is going to be another 3 months? Hopefully it will be worth waiting for.

Could it be something to do with the 7 speed DSG?

... yet the 150 and 184 diesel engine have it from launch. Though both those engines remain unchanged. We could also speculate that it was required to give improved and honest fuel economy figures.

Maybe the increased GTI engine power and lower gearing combined with the VAQ differential, simply requires more development.

No development required for moving it from an S3 to a Golf R with essentially the same engine and Haldex drive system.
