Guys am looking into maybe changing over to a 5 door R from my 5 door Gti PP
What colours would be the most stunning to have? my brother has just picked up his Tornado red 5 door, so that's out the question, :grin:
I was looking at Pure White or the iconic Lapiz Blue am undecided which way to go. :undecided:
Whats the feedback out there??? :wink:
-
I ordered a Limestone Grey one after seeing one in the flesh
-
I passed a limestone R recently on the motorway,it really did look stunning its worth a consideration also.
-
Seen a LSG grey round town and it was a real head turner.
To be honest it looks good in any of the colours. Out of Lapiz and Pure White, I prefer Lapiz (just not a white car person). Reflex silver looks nice on the Mk7 too, suits the sharp lines.
What's your gut feeling?

I have seen one of them aswell, looks classy and very tame looking.... :whistle:

If you remember I had a pure White Mk7 Gti PP, and had to change due to software problems and now running a Carbon Grey Gti PP.....am swaying towards the Lapiz Blue as its the iconic colour to the R, am just waiting my time till the right one appears.
I am very good friends with the sales man at Gti World in Edinburgh, and the deal on the white R is very tempting and I can drive it away this weekend.....am in a good position just now as I have a 1 1/2 yr newer car so I have a lot of equity on the Gti so the deal am getting is not to be sniffed at.....My brother just picked up his Tornado Red R a month ago and that looks very smart aswell.....I had a decent test drive from him as I went down to Gti World Edinburgh from North of Aberdeen to pick it up with him, so I got to drive it home from Dundee to Fraserburgh a 100 miles or so...... :grin: :grin: :grin:
So very keen on a R, so if the right one pops up I might treat my self to an early Santa present :whistle:

Dean is a top bloke at GTI World. I'm sure you know Doug that I had a lapis blue for a week from Dean and the colour is truly stunning. I know it's a very popular colour but I can understand why. I would go with either Lapis or possibly reflex silver which appears to be very rare
-
Lapis gets you noticed a lot because the colour is exclusive. You won't see an R Line rocking lapis. If you are looking for discrete I would say black

I tossed and turned over colour when ordering mine, it was between Lapiz and Red, in the end I choose red, a week before collecting I saw a Lapiz R and thought I'd made the wrong choice, then I collected mine and new I'd made the right choice :smiley:
I think your brother was right :grin:

It's weird I never went through any other colour options with mine. It was lapis or a different car lol. Either way you'll be extremely happy, the car is awesome

Well if we are chucking every colour into the equation and all going in for a bit of pic whoring......DBP doesn't look too bad on the R either.
If it's a toss up between Lapiz and Pure White - Lapiz wins every time!

As you already said Lapiz Blue is the only R specific colour :cool:

Thanks :smiley:

Novelty of lapiz wears office, i really regret not going white or limestone when they reordered mine as for me the finish is not wonderful especially compared to the night blue
-
Obviously I'm biased, but for me its Lapiz Blue. A. Cause its exclusive to the R and B. Cause it looks the nuts! But I've seen the R in the flesh in black, white, red and silver and it looks stunning in each of those colours, so good luck making your mind up :grin:

Cheers for all your feedback, Lapiz is still swaying my way, Think I will wait and see if Gti World get one in and will take it from there, my brothers Tornado red R looks the dogs, and hes the only one around here to have a red one, there are one or two Lapiz Blue and the odd white kicking about.
Watch this space :whistle:
