I ordered my GTD in carbon grey. However i passed by my dealers yesterday and i saw a GTD in met Blue. It looked stunning.! :cry:
-
I am over the moon with my colour choice. No available colour i'd rather have. Looks good in all light, doesn't look filthy or dusty immediately.
If the metallic blue you are referring to is night blue, then it is one of those colours that looks amazing in some lighting and not so good in others. I'd have given consideration to something like "Rising blue" on my Roc, or the old R32 blue (which i'm sure will be back for the "R").
-
Aside from the two red demos at my local dealer the only GTD I've seen in the flesh was a Carbon Grey one and it looked stunning. So you won't regret your choice. :smiley:
-
Thanks... I've not seen it in the flash yet. Hope your right.!
-
Yea me, I ordered white changed to midnightblue phoned to change back to white and was costing me more money :cry:
So blue it is. This will be my first dark car :shocked:

I have to say after seeing a few GTI's/D's in the flesh Carbon is my new colour of choice. It just looks alot smarter than I thought it would.
-
My current mk6 is Carbon Grey and I really like this colour, looks really good when clean and doesn't look too bad when dirty. I wanted a change for the mk7 and have chosen night blue. I've not seen this colour in the flesh yet so my fingers are crossed :undecided:
-
Is night blue the same blue that was available for the mk6?
-
I think the car looks good in pretty much any of the colours. It's a subjective question because your going to be biased towards your own colour hence it looks its absolute best in white :grin:
-
I think most of the colours compliment the car really well. The Midnight Blue and the Whites I think look stunning as alternative colours for my personal taste, however I definitely made the right choice for me in Tornado Red :smiley:
-
Having seen people posting pics of their white cars I'm sure I'll be happy with it when it arrives. It seems to suit the sharp crease lines of the Mk7 and the black plastic detailing very well IMHO.
One thing I must say though is that white doesn't excite or sparkle if you know what I'm mean. It's kinda anti-colour like flat black. However my current Scirocco's rising blue is stunning. Just love it. Even after 4 years. Best colour car I've ever owned. It's close to the exclusive colour used on the R32 & R and BMW's estoril blue. I'm just disappointed it wasn't available to order on the new GTI/GTD's.
But I wanted a change from blue so that ruled out Midnight Blue (which looks very nice with the red details). I don't like red. The blacks are too hard to keep clean. Silver seems out of fashion so Carbon Grey was my second choice. However in most dull light conditions its too close to black and I feared it would have been a swine to keep clean.
So white it is, and I'm 'fairly' happy with my choice. Too late to change now... BW confirmed :smiley:

This is the Milton Keynes VW Midnight Blue GTD demo and not even a colour considered but having seen in flesh I was really taken by it and would have been very happy if it was my choice.

yes I am pretty happy with my colour choice (CSG) my previous car was DPB which I was really happy with and despite what ever says it always looked pretty good as long as you had a good cleaning regime. The only reason I didn't have DPB again was I feared it would look to much like my old car. :smiley:

Thanks you have restored my faith in the choice of midnightblue

Seen a couple of GTI and GTDs around now (no doubt all demo cars) and they all look really really good imo.
(Unlike some other marques, where the odd ridiculous colour options exist!)
-
Carbon Grey rules - my Mk7 GTD will be the fourth GTD I've had in this colour - Simply the best!
-
Hi,
I've gone for standard black :huh:
I'll be on my own with this I know but I love dirty black cars :whistle:

Has anyone got any nice pics of a carbon grey Mk7 gtd?
-
Hi all,
Ordered GTI Tornado Red, a beautiful colour!
-
Ordered mine in white, changed my mind to carbon grey and thought I'd made the wrong choice. Seen a couple in carbon grey on here and can't wait now :-)
-
As has been said, there isn't really as bad colour, but the best has to be White, looks so good against the black trim :evil: :evil:

Same here, you ain't alone, lol
-
Pure white GTD and love it :)
-
I have deep pearl black. And it's going to be a 'mare keeping remotely clean
-
Are you happy with your colour choice.
Yes because it isn't white like everyone else's.
-
White: but we get the choice of 2 whites in switzerland - "pure white" at no extra cost and "onyx white" at an extra charge of CHF1320 or £900.
I asked the salesman if you could see the difference at 140kph. Onyx is sort of pearly but i could only see this with reading glasses. No brainer, went for pure white...

I am now 100% confident that i have chosen the right colour--- CARBON GREY--- rules. :wink:
SIMPLY THE BEST

Awesome! But I have to say, the big winner with the GTD are those wheels... I mean... they look amazing!! :cool:
-
You're right the wheels do look awesome.. However i think it is those red calipers that set them off. Would the dealer do that or is that a special order?

I've looked in to this some few months ago. It's a sport and sound package...however only offered in Ireland and around Europe...just not here :( I am having this done for me at a cost of 45 a corner, not cheap so shelling out 180 for all 4. However if you are gifted you can do this yourself. Think a lad on here has done a damn good DIY job (want to say norbek I think is his username).
-

I have to agree. The rims and the calipers set that colour off. I'm thinking of having my calipers painted on my deep pearl black. Any idea on costs and what are ppls thoughts on black with red calipers.
-
I ordered red. I regret it now - the pure white looks awesome.
I'm sure they all look good in the flesh though.

That will look awesome. Similar to you, I have a DBP GTD with the 18s (personally prefer the 18s) and I think with the red callipers it will look stunning and just so god damn stealth with darker tints on the back windows. That's what I have planned anyway. 50 a calliper however shop around

Red looks lovely. Passed one in Edinburgh few weeks ago and looks cracking. Not many red cars on road so will be a head turner. White does look nice..but my god EVERYONE has ordered white. Stand out from the crowd ;)

I couldn't agree more.

1. Carbon Grey
2. Deep black pearl
3. Night Blue
4. Tornado Red
5. White
My top 5
Why red is so low in my chart is because i live in Leeds and most people hate Man-utd therefore i could never buy a red car. :laugh:

I support Liverpool so red is the obvious choice - but I hate Man U too :laugh:

Congrats.... Liverpool should win the league this year... NO PROBLEM.!!!!

I was going to say you sound like Ricepop, but I see he has already jumped on the bandwagon giving the white's more disrespect! :wink:
-

Red was my second choice. Then my first, then my second and so on. I love them both. But I went for white to annoy Ricepop. :laugh:

Haha! I sometimes wish we'd ordered white, then carbon grey, or night blue, but rest of the time am happy with red. I'm sure that I'll be so happy to have a golf GTD I won't care what colour it is :smiley: I've never had a red car before but we had a dark grey ST and our second car is navy so it'll be nice to have a change

Grey seems to be in vogue at the moment... However white is so last year. Don't get me wrong white suits the GTI/GTD alot but too many people have ordered it in that colour. Aint it good to be different??. :cool:
-
Out of nowhere a red GTi mk7 cruised past me yesterday, I picked out the U shaped DLRs from a distance and it did look really sweet. I can honestly say that if I didn't go for the CSG, the white, the midnight blue or the limestone silver I would definitely have picked the tornado red...
