Can't believe it. Just out and about for a small jaunt this morning and spotted two other GTI's, another white and a silver one. Have to say the silver one looked not bad at all. Both in the Glasgow area, anyone on here?

Craig, I always wanted to see what a 3 door silver GTI looked like. I reckon it's bad ass.

Closest I've seen is a video (albeit poor resolution) of this 5 door. Looks good though.

The beginning of this video made me seriously consider changing to silver! But then the white one looks awesome as well!

I hadn't seen the second video before and was starting to wonder whether any other GTi's were going to be painted in Reflex and what they'd look like. I'm reassured!

Not sure how you made it as far as 2:54.  I got stuck here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=QZFH6H9N_AI#t=95

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any pics of it but from a distance you could tell what it was as the black inserts on the from grille bumper were really standing out on it. The rear looked very sharp. It's not a colour I would ever have considered but seeing it in the flesh had revised my opinion

I saw a Reflex Silver GTI with different spec wheel than we get in the UK when I was in the Black Forest during the summer. Looked really lovely... I liekd it much more than I expected. I'm still happy with my TR choice though.

There is a red GTI around Glasgow too that I've seen parked up.
