Title: Where are all the black cars?
Post by: keelaw on 10 July 2009, 00:47: Can't seem to find any decent pics of a black golf gti mk6 anywhere. Google is full of white ones, owners seem to go for Red, perhaps a black mk6 will become a collector's item!

So, anyone out there with a black mk6? Can you post up some nice pics please? Ta!

note that this spec is v similar to one i want albeit this is a DSG with leather. but even as a 2nd hand model, it's 4 grand more than what i've been quoted new!!

It's still a lot though.

There's a black 3 door in the showroom at Exeter VW. I was having a look over it the other day whilst the sales chappie was doing his disappear into the backroom and pretend to thrash out a good deal routine. They have a black GTD in there too with an expensive looking spec.
I don't think I can get a photo of it either as it's in a bit of an awkward position behind two desks.
