Interested to know which is already the most popular colour - I'm guessing Isaac or Indium but lets see....
-
Ordered a White Silver GTD, not seen one in the flesh, but really like it in images I've seen on here, grey was a close contender though...
-
Wanted Reflex Silver, but that is no longer an option. Looked at Tungsten Silver as the closest alternative, but decided it was too conservative for a GTI. The dealer had a White Silver Golf and the colour didn't appeal to me. So eventually decided to order Tornado Red. It is - in my opinion- the most vibrant, eye catching colour available. Red contrasts well with the black trim and grills on the car. Though the distinctive red stripe on the front will be less noticeable. On the downside - our A3 is red, so I know it is not going to be the easiest colour to keep.
-
It would be Isaac Blue for me;
- exclusive to the GTI/GTD so a bit special IMO
- quite similar to Carbon Grey that I had on my mk6 GTD - also exclusive to the GTI/GTD - and I loved that colour
-
I've ordered
Indium Grey. Looked good on an R in the showroom when i was browsing and for once, my wife agreed on the colour (never happened before - she must have been distracted :smiley:).
(now changed to Tungsten Silver after actually seeing one in the metal)
-
If this was available for my mk7 Gti it would have been a no brainer perfect match for my other toy
:whistle:
And if I was in the market for a 7.5 and this was available then it's what I would get :cool:

None of the colours are that inspiring to be honest. I still like white as it makes the black fins at the front stand out but would probably go either the silver or grey next time round
-
Wow - Isaac is proving very popular! I may need to change my colour choice.
Tungsten or Atlantic are appealing. I like my current Limestone Mk7 because you don't see too many others about.
-
I've voted for Indium Grey after seeing one parked up outside a dealers earlier this week. I'd feared it may look at little bit beige, however it is far less beige looking than the Limestone grey GTD it was parked next to. It's more in keeping with the neutral greys that are much more my usual taste.
Having said that I might still change my mind to Isaac Blue when I finally see it for myself.
-
I voted indium grey as that's the colour of mine, however now I've had it for 2 weeks I wish I had picked something like Atlantic as the indium just doesn't have that Wow factor in the flesh it just doesn't pop for me.
-
Can we include the R here? :wink:
I have Lapiz today. It's obviously the signature R colour and really stands out from the crowd. Lovely pop off it in this sunny spell too. But if I were to change to yet another one I could hardly go Lapiz again... that would just compound the madness! Trouble is, the rest of the colour palette is so meh...
I've had white so I don't really want to go there again.
Black - no way.
Red - not for me either.
Atlantic blue - it's a bit too mid-range-Passat for me.
I'd probably lean towards Indium grey but I'd be concerned (like McCaff) that it would just look too drab under our mostly dull grey climate.
-
I prefer Lapiz to any other of the current range.
That'd be the colour i'd go for if it weren't restricted to the R.
Interesting that Oryx white doesn't seem very popular. Probably as there are now two other less expensive whites to choose from.
-

It's too expensive and most punters would struggle to tell it from the cheaper (free in Ireland!) flat white.
-

Done
-
Wish they hadn't removed the CG...don't understand that decision, absolute knock out colour for the GTI with all the red accents...any way Ive ordered dark iron blue as the next best substitute but I fear it may look dull in many conditions...to me the CG seemed to handle dull and still look fresh. :smiley:
-
My thread here: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=280067.0
11 People said they'd ordered pearlescent paint...
-

I quite agree. I don't really see the need to offer 3 different shades of white anyway, when almost all the other choices available are quite austere. It would have been nice to have something different like a Firespark Red to choose from.
-
I like some of the metallics but I LOVE Tornado Red. I think it's one of the best shades of red I've seen on a car, it really glows and stands out in a sea of dreary drizzle :whistle:

I went for tungsten.

Funny, I watch the same video and think the white and silver cars in the background look better than the flat light grey in the foreground. I have seen a White Silver Golf in the flesh. IMO the white and silver cars parked either side of it looked much better. But wouldn't it be a boring world if we all liked the same thing.
When I pulled out onto the road today there was a red Mk6 in front of me. I followed it for 2 miles miles then we both were behind two Tungsten Silver AND Reflex Silver Mk7s. As our little procession of 4 Golfs toodled along we passed a red Mk7 which was stopped and indicating right (it was covered in bird poo and looked like it had not been cleaned in a month :rolleyes:). The thing is I live 2 miles past the middle of nowhere! On my way into town today there were 4 other Golfs all in the colours I like. I then thought, are Golfs common or popular :huh: Definitely popular! :grin:
-
My view is to forget the "exclusivity" factor.
Who knows if colours will be made available on other models in the future, unless it is advertised as a "signature colour".
My advice is to simply choose the colour you like best. I am really pleased with my Atlantic Blue GTD. In the sun, the flakes shimmer and the car looks stunning.
In my view (and it's only a personal choice...!) there are so many white, silver and grey Golfs around, the blue is something different. My last GTD was Limestone, which was nice, but a bit dull. It certainly never shimmered the way the Blue one does now.
But ... we all have different opinions ....!
-
Black Rubin for me (cheap lease). Still worried...
-
So Isaac Blue is in the lead so far and I'm torn between it and Indium Grey, but how come if its in the lead no-one on the forum has actually posted a photo of their car in the flesh yet I wonder?

Because with a 9 month lead time on cars, nobody has got the bloody things yet.

My Isaac blue gets built next week. So pics shouldn't be too far off.

Looking good, wouldn't pay that much for it though. Reminded me of a lighter and less shiny reflex silver.
-
I voted for Isaac Blue it's a no brainer. Kind of colour i've been waiting for,for years.I call it 'gunmetal-blue'.Surprised to see so few votes for Atlantic Blue.After seeing TonyJ's pics on another thread,it would be my second choice.

Don't know if this helps anyone but I finally found some decent pics of a GTD in Isaac Blue/Dark Iron Blue.
Most of the other pics I've seen are either under showroom lights or blazing sunlight so it's nice to see it in natural daylight.
It's the colour I've gone for on my new GTI too and if this is how it looks I'll be over the moon.

Thanks Beezer - good pics of Isaac in normal light. Very happy with my choice now.

I was erring to Isaac Blue over Indium Grey and now those photos have probably sealed it for Isaac as it looks the nearest to my current Carbon Grey GTD, keep the Isaac Blue photos coming as you guys take delivery please.

Yes,Cheers for posting the pics Beezer.Looks like one of those colours that changes according to the light.

I need more Black Rubin pics. Seen pics/video on the VW used car site and a set of pics on the FB page of Swansway VW. Still can't figure out whether Black Rubin is like Nissan's Nightshade (liquid black, then purple in direct sunlight) or just plain maroon...

Nissan Nightshade is a metallic colour and it's the metallic flake particles in the paint that makes it appear to change colour in different lighting conditions from black to a deep aubergine colour. VW Black Rubin is a non-metallic colour so will look pretty much the same colour (burgundy/maroon) under all lighting conditions.
If there's a Black Rubin Golf that you've seen on VW's website that's a reasonable distance from where you live, why not go and see it 'in the flesh'. That way, you'll know for certain whether you like it or not.
-
Black Rubin is a colour that was available (albeit with a different name) on Polos circa 2008 and also I've seen more recent Audi's with it too.
Its definitely purple. Very purple.
I'm actually surprised to have not seen more on the road yet, but then again I don't think I've seen a single 7.5 driving around yet - only at dealers.
Probably because of the stupid lead times!
-
(http://i67.tinypic.com/ok1loj.jpg)
Finally some proper photos of Isaac Blue, thank you. Really nice colour. Though just like Indium Grey it is going to look better up close in a show room, than on the road where it is going to blend in. Not a lot different from the other dark cars in the background.

That's the problem - there isn't. My local dealership doesn't even have a facelift GTI yet...

I've found some more pictures of the GTI in Isaac Blue and White Silver. Isaac Blue looks quite dark in this photo. I have ordered a GTI in Pure White and have today to change my mind about what colour I want! I'm thinking that Pure White maybe too common!

Bugger, should have got white silver. How did they get red leather seats?

I've found some more pictures of the GTI in Isaac Blue and White Silver. Isaac Blue looks quite dark in this photo. I have ordered a GTI in Pure White and have today to change my mind about what colour I want! I'm thinking that Pure White maybe too common!
On our quiet country road there were 5 Golf's last Friday. If you don't want common then you are looking at the wrong car. Though I prefer to use the word popular :grin:
White contrasts really well with the red and black trim. Our roads are regularly covered in mud, so I had to rule it out. And I'm not a hairdresser (https://justwalkwithme.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/throwing-tomatoes-emoticon.gif?w=52)
-
White silver is becoming my favourite. I've seen a couple of R's in that colour and it really is nice, contrasts great with the shiny black bits.
The red seats must be after market.
-
White silver is probably my choice my friend has a cooper S in it and it looks great.
-
Bugger, should have got white silver. How did they get red leather seats?
The car that the guy was sold from the dealer had cloth seats and he was adamant he wanted leather. So they used a company that does interior work for them to retrim the interior. IMO the interior looks awful.
I'm interested to see what the Velour looks like as i have ordered that!

The Velour will look great. I would have gone for it if I didn't like the tartan.

My uncle has red leather seats in his TTS. Abattoir red :sick:
+1 for the Art Velours. Though I do like the standard seats too.
-
The more I see of white silver, the more I dislike it.
I'm not sure it's even a colour, more like a primer.
Isaac Blue is really cool and the signature colour, so that would be my choice if I was ordering now.
-
I like the Isaac Blue in some pictures but in others like the one above it looks really dark, almost like a navy.

Yeah... all the colours are very light sensitive and I suppose a phone camera isn't the best for capturing how it really looks. Indium grey looks very flat/dull/dark in some photos too and in others it looks a lot brighter.
I think the brighter colours such as white / white silver work very well with the 7.5.
-
Yes, this is one of my biggest gripes with the GTi/GTD. The colour pallette is rather limited if you don't like dark colours. Three shades of white, flat red and Tungsten Silver.
-
I agree. I think the lighter look better but there's not much choice! Love white but every GTI I seem to see is in that colour so White Silver maybe the one.

True Tornado Red is flat but is far from flat in the way it can really glow. On a sunny day after a wash it's so vibrant I reckon mine can be spotted from the space station :laugh:

Cheers hog_hedge, in the past I always prefered metallics but I'm so impressed by TR. I tend not to repeat colours when I change cars but may make an exception next time.

You sum it up well. Dark shades, light shades and red. :evil:
So many conservative colours and red. :evil:
Unfortunately, I have to agree with Watts. :huh:
Though red does a take a bit of effort to get it looking that good, Watts. :cool:
Go have a look at the Seat Leon colour range. It is much, much better than VW. :rolleyes:
-
Tornado red looks class. I've changed my order to Silver White though. What's people's opinions on the Santiago or Brescia's? I've ordered the Brescia 19" as I've not seen many GTI's with them other than the Clubsport.

Actually I find it quite forgiving, even when fairly mucky when the light catches it right it still looks great. Plus I'm a right lazy old bugger so don't do that much or spend much time on it. So long as it has a good layer of wax and a good spray of QD after a wash, job's a goodun :smiley:

I've got Santiagos and think they look great, but, I'd have gone for Brescias given the choice as 1 they look just as good and 2 they are cheaper though not sure why. Buying them seperately there is about a 1000€ difference - does anyone know why?
-

Have to agree. Although the Golf is clearly the nicer car, i'd take the Leon's Mystery Blue or Desire Red over anything in the straight-laced GTi pallette.

Exactly the same here o also have the 19' santis but had the rescias been available in January 16 wheb I ordered it iron would have specced them :whistle:

Glad I didn't order Isaac Blue, it'll be common as muck.

Nah... exclusive colour ONLY available on the facelift GTI/GTD. Not surprising it is a popular choice. :cool:
... it will also contrast well against the red GTI trim. Something I will not get with Tornado Red :undecided:
-

I saw the Isaac Blue on a GTI in person today. Looks nice, pretty much like gunmetal grey. It's nice, but shows the dirt really easy and I don't think it will stand out much to be honest.
-

Should have gone with the "purple nasty", seems nobody much wants that.
I'll bet those VW marketing people are rubbing their hands with glee at the success of their cost optioned paint upsell campaign.

Yep, pick what is likely to be the least popular colour as the 'no cost' standard colour, so almost everyone will pay for a different colour.
With solid colours having a clear lacquer coat these days, it'll cost VW no more (or very little extra) to paint a car solid red or white or a metallic / pearlescent colour than it does to paint it Black Rubin; all have a base coat plus clear coat, so the process is the same. The exception might be Oryx White which has an extra stage in the painting process (a separate pearlescent coat applied to Pure White before the lacquer coat).
Easy money for VW.....:angry:
-
It's arrived, obviously its in a dark area, within the workshop but some screens of an Indium Grey GTI.
Not long now :smiley:

Isaac blue is alright, not overly bowled over by it, carbon grey was better. Glad I went with IG, I was tempted by the IB but wasn't as sure.

Thanks for that. Looks spot on. That's what I've gone for with those wheels too so nice to see that combination on a 5 door GTI. Was pondering between indium and Isaac so looks like I made the right choice.

Congrats it does look well in the new colour and as the guy said it's replaced the Cg on the mk7 as mine is but I know the canary yellows been batted about I'm still sure that would have bwen my choice as on page 2 of this thread totally different to any other golfs lol just my opinion :whistle: :whistle:

Actually I met a GTD 7.5 tonight in Coleshill that didn't have fogs and my first thought was that it didn't look right. To me it is like when you buy a car and you don't tick all the options and you look at that blank switch cover and think :angry:
-
Have to say saw a white/silver GTD at Swindon Vw next to a pure white and it won hands down. A must see in the flesh color. Not sure I would rate it over lapis or oryx. But for a new GTI owner, check it out.
-
White Silver I think is a must have colour.... I didn't flip mine in time though - got my build date finally this morning LOL
Mind you, if I'd ordered an R, Tumeric Yellow FTW :)
-
From the various photos and videos I'd seen of White Silver, I liked it. However, I saw a White Silver Golf in the flesh the other day and now I'm not so sure.
It wasn't a performance model, and I daresay that a White Silver GTI with the red accents would look quite good. However, the one I saw did look a bit like a car that had been primered but VW had forgotten to apply the colour coat. If I wanted a light coloured GTI I think I'd choose Pure White over White Silver and save myself £290, although in reality, I'd go for Isaac Blue, which is the same cost as White Silver!
It's good that we don't all like the same things though.

I'd be tempted by the yellow, not sure how it would go down on resale let alone with my OH although she was keen on an orange TT...
-
Its a performance car, I don't think leery colours will dent resale, might actually enhance it.
Think about those b@tsh1t colours of the Focus RS :)

Very true - I also think if you're going to spend a vast amount on something special then you should get exactly what you want. So thanks, if I go for an R then yellow it'll be :laugh:
-
Yeah if I ever drop pound notes on one, I'd have yellow and 90% tints and drug dealer wheels :cool:
-
Funny that I always regret not ordering yellow on a 182 Clio at a whopping £1000 on a £14k car. Only a handful found on U.K. Roads.Great yellow, but sorry chaps don't like this turmeric on anything other than the r line in ads. It's basically not yellow enough and too metallic for an R. Look at Ferrari and Lamborghini for instance.
-
Nice to see a few of you coming round to the yellow idea but beware I'm 1st hahahaha ha only joking but like I said it wud be a big 4 yesses ad it been optional on my 16 gti :cool:

On the front cover of the latest VW Driver magazine there is a photo of a White Silver GTI. Inside there are plenty of high quality photos for anyone who has yet to see the colour in the flesh. In the review, they describe the colour as "unusual". Anyone like to read between the lines on that colour description?
The red GTI trim does make it look a little better. Though I'm still not a fan of the light grey colour. It is too "unusual" for my tastes :undecided: :smiley:

I saw a standard Golf in White Silver recently and "unusual" sums it up well. "Different" also springs to mind. Not for me.
-
What are they going to think of black Rubin then :shocked:
-
Saw a basic Golf in white silver at dealers and it looked terrible which was disappointing as it was my preference. The GTi may look better but can't see the red stripes transforming the colour. Purple isn't for me either so it's got to be a metallic as don't want pure white again and not sure red is for me.

Sounds like you're going to have to fork out for Oryx White then :evil:

Probably not. If ordering now it would likely be Indium Grey or Atlantic Blue. Love the white but no point getting same again and the non metallic white seems to chip ridiculously easily.
-
I have gone for Indium Grey, fortunate to have seen majority of colours in the flesh so I could make an informed decision!
White silver was my first choice and I wanted to love it, but very marmite, in the showroom under lights it looks very glossy but outdoors in natural light I think it looks very dull. Oryx White the best white colour option but £££.
Played it safe with Indium Grey which i'm happy with.
-
I've gone for Indium grey too. Seen it on a few other VWs and looks pretty good when clean and polished. Looking forward to delivery and seeing it in the flesh :smiley:
-
I ordered Isaac Blue for my GTD on Saturday as its the signature colour! :cool:

Tornado Red is doing much better than I expected (despite being clearly the best colour :wink:) yet few people seem to have one, seems odd.
