MK7 GTD best colour?
-
Deep black pearl effect :shocked: !!!!! Looks a beast. However, don't see many red cars around, so will be a head turner. Personal preference at the end of the day.
-
dealer only offered me the standard flat black or tornado red.
-
Flat black will still look impressive. Hard to differentiate between that and the DBP id have said. Cant beat black IMO, get some darker tints on the back and itl look pretty mean. Red is stunning, seen one round here and it looks great. Not that many red cars on the road either so it will stand out. Personally I think its a no brainer...black!
-
Get a black one, then there wont be as many Red ones about :) hehe .....
-
Tornado Red.
You can get just as impressive a shine as you can with black, plus it will still look good when the sun has gone in. Black is also a very unforgiving colour. It will show every mark and frustrate you when you can see the layer of dust forming minutes after you've finished cleaning it.

Red would be a lot easier to look after ,and looks great , Pearl looks the dogs , but shows every mark in it's
mirror reflection in the sun .
But at the end of the day it always looks Class .

Well, I wanted carbon grey but my other half saw a red one in the dealership and fell in love so I gave in :smiley:

Need I say more?
-
In most of the pics I find myself regretting not getting the red, but then I see the red in daylight and it looks pinkish. Then I think that the white looks amazing!
So I have no idea lol
-
Doesn't look pinkish in the metal at all. That's just crap iPhone pictures for you... ;-)
-
I didn't use an iphone, that's why my picture looks awesome.
-
It looks good in all colours but between red and black I would go black although it's a bugger to keep clean
-
It just looks a wee bit pink under some lights, but given the choice, I would go for the red over black.
Is the red a deep red?
-
Pics don't do TR justice. Once it's waxed it's such a deep red. But I am biased! :laugh:
-
Had a Tornado red gtd for the last 3 years, never really looked that dirty but when it's waxed it looks stunning ! Got a carbon grey gti on order as didn't want the same colour car for another 3 years, but was a tough decision !

Totally off subject but they don't deserve to lose this match. Been the far better team and Suarez is absolute class!

We saw 2 reds in the flesh before ordering and they didn't look pink at all, but a lovely deep red
And NUFC are winning :laugh:

He is pure class - and he's not even fit! Didn't deserve to lose, Giggs should have been sent off for a second yellow, and the look on that (unt Moyes' face makes me want to punch the tele.
Sorry for going OT - aaaaaaand breathe :laugh:
(I hate manUre so much :angry:)

Raw TR looks pinkish but once it's got some product on it's a hot red with an orange rather than pink hue.
-
Very deep and hot red with a bit of product on - like Flash Red (Polo) :cool: rather than Salsa Red (Scirocco) :sick:
If you like cleaning your car every day and don't fear swirl marks then get the black. If you want a car that looks fantastic in all lighting and will stand up to being washed once a week as well as having good contrast with the black trim then get red,
-
Red....get a bit of colour in your life

"Always bet on black" .. Passenger 57. :wink:
Deep black pearl looks stunning on the GTI

Red.
The first mk7 I saw was my local dealer's demo which I took photos of at the beginning of June and it looked dull as hell and people commented on it on here.
The next mk7 I saw was my local dealer's demo GTD in July or August when my car went in for a service. It looked shiny and deep and really good.
Obviously the GTI had only just arrived when I saw it and the sales guys just put it out on the road so they could tool around in it and it wasn't prepped properly, once it had something on the paint it looked stunning.
Both cars parked together looked awesome.
My 'other' car is black. Nightmare. Utter nightmare.
-
I saw a number of reds GTDs when trying to decide what to go for and I thought they looked great with the silver GTD lines as opposed to the red on the GTI.
In my opinion red works better on the GTD compared to the GTI.

From a distance though you would be hard pushed to tell the difference
