I'm sure I've missed a few different shades but what is your favourite colour of the mk7, if you could have a choice in it? Post a pic to help your argument!
-
TCR Pure Grey!

I really should've got another TR...
-
Can't see Tungsten Silver listed, but anyways voted for Lapiz Blue.
-
I voted Atlantic Blue, as it's rare and when I have seen it always looked gorgeous. Lapis is probably a nicer colour but much more common (as there's a lot of R's round my way that are that colour).
Why not Indium grey you may ask, well I went for Indium upon seeing one in the showroom at order time under the bright spotlights and thought it looked great, and coming from a GTD in Carbon Steel Grey, quite fancied another grey. In hindsight as much as I like indium, I've never really got to love it (love the the car though), I wish I'd have been braver and gone for Atlantic blue but they never had one at the time for me to see.

In this poll, you get not fifty shades of grey, but four. Amalgamate them all into one colour, German grey. Ladies and gents you may have a winner. :laugh:
-
Isaac Blue everytime and head and shoulders above Atlantic Blue.
Depending on the light it can change from a grey to the blue. Plus I've yet to see another one on the roads in N. IRELAND.
-
CSG, love the different colours it gives off in different light.

Carbon Grey gets my vote - and did! :smiley: Loved my Carbon Grey mk6 GTD and the colour was exclusive to the GTI and GTD too.
@willni; you’ve not included Pure White in your poll.

I've only ever seen it twice and both times it was the same car up in Newry, looked great.

You know my feelings toward in :angry: :wink: only joking now added along with Tungsten Silver

They did nail the greys on the mk7, but we can't mix them all together or we'd just get black :wink:

It's a very tough one but I have to side with Tornado Red!

Mine is in Tungsten Silver but I voted for Issac Blue Steel. I've only seen one in the flesh once but it looked great with the red GTI badges and accents.
-
Here is my favourite colour, Clean Indium Grey. IMO it is hard to beat and I am not ashamed of the wheels either, although I do have others. :laugh:

Tornado red for sure.
Common, it's a gti!
Shame the mk8 is not proper red :cry:

^ this.
And it was a gti/gtd exclusive colour so pretty rare.

Voted Tungsten because my last GTi was that colour seeing as though Pure Grey isn't even on the list!

Indium FTW!

Indium Grey. Here's my previous GTi:

A quartet of shiny/clean Indiums! I am not sure what that indicates?

Possibly a new Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, but that's an ecumenical matter.

Suggestions for a collective noun - for any of the colours? :whistle:

Carbon grey no doubt. Such a great colour that changes every time you look at it
-
Even though I voted for Indium Grey. Lapiz Blue was the reason my Carbon Grey only last 11months 🙄

I left it split into the colour names so there's more competition, grey would always win by a landslide if grouped because there's four variations of it vs say yellow with only one variation. :smiley:

You did well to get a gti and R in 3 doors! How did you find the move from Pretorias to Brescias on your 7.5? I'm very tempted to make a switch from Pretorias to Brescias but keep seeing too many poor replicas of both alloys that put me off each.

The main difference would be cost to refurb if you damage one. I.e diamond cut v painted. Mine were factory wheels so can’t comment on replica’s durability. From an aesthetic point of view until it turned up I wasn’t sure about the Brescia’s but really think they suit the GTi. From memory I think the sidewall profile was 35 on the R and 40 on the GTi then factor in the stiffer suspension on the R and it was quite a bone jarring ride over slow crap British roads ( and one of the deciding factors of why I switched back to a GTi ) the GTi on the other hand was still firm but a lot better all rounder for an everyday car. Probably not helped you at all 🤣 but good luck deciding 🤪

Don't worry you've Wingbacks and a 3 door you're in the cool club regardless of colour :wink:

Indium grey
-
Maybe it should be favourite colours?
I do like the addition of the black roof available on the Ed40 & TCR as a contrast to the main body colour.
Edited to add image of two tone paint scheme.

Agreed, that is a real beauty. :smiley:

Tks Watts & Madstaff for the kind words.
I do think the black roof works, especially to complete the pan roof? :)
Madstaff it is the same spec as your Urano car with 10k miles....... Yours is possibly unique in the UK with that spec & colour? :)

Black roof with a pan roof is essential imo, looks strange two-tone. I think it looks even better on a clubsport with all the gloss black body pieces

Oryx with black roof 👌

Looks well on the XR's what size did you go for? Ever consider black mirrors?

Still undecided whether to change the alloys or not....

Thanks, I am liking the wheels a lot. They very much suit the car and the 19'' fills the arches nicely (miles nicer than the horrid parkers!). Yes I have considered black mirrors, but they don't bother me in white so will probably leave them. I have black lower door decals (clubsport style) that I will be adding soon too.

Limestone grey, loved it, miss it.

Wheels are exactly what I'd go for, they look briliiant. If I decide to keep the car at the end of my deal I might well change. Seems pointless as it stands though
