Black is clearly the best colour for the Mk7.

I have had a black MK2 a black MK4 a red MK5 a red MK6, looks like a black MK7 is on the cards 

Need some nice pics of the three door

While talking about colours, I'd initially spec'd with Oryx white paint... (based on samples in the showroom) when I went up to place the order it was sunny, so took the samples out into direct sunlight. Changed to pure white immediately. I think it's probably a Marmite (love or hate) paint finish!

quick update. From the photos of the link I posted, the black GTI is actually Carbon steel grey. Got it confirmed from the dealer. Also verified it myself through some research.

So this is a CSG GTI

Very nice pics.

Heck the CSG looks awesome in that bright, Mediterranean sunshine. But what about your typical, overcast rainy day in Blighty? My gut feeling is it would start to look like plain black.

Interesting that most of the official VW shots have been about 5 doors. I always thought they favoured the 3 doors for their advertising.
