Planning to get a Golf GTI, but cant decide on colour... Candy White or United Grey? I like other colours too, but Candy White is the best out of all... However, United Grey is very limited... For most shipments there is only ONE that they bring... And I have yet to see one on the road... I like the white, shadow blue, blue graphite and black magic... But right now deciding between white or grey... And recommendations?

black when clean beats the sh!t out of candy white but only when clean :smiley:
-
Tornado Red is really nice so is black especially when clean...but still have to agree both United Grey and Candy white are very very nice too....tough choice lol, coming from a black car I would go for something different, Candy White wins it for me i think :smiley:
-
United/Steel Grey always looks good whether it is clean or dirty, but never really stands out from the crowd.
Candy white only looks good when clean, but when it is clean it looks awesome.
I'll leave the decision to you.
Oh, and welcome to the forum almattitude. :cool:

What about Graphite Blue? What do you guys think of that?

I have it. Looks amazing when cleaned up in the sunshine, and its relatively unusual. See for yourself!

Nice! Do u have a picture of it like in the shade and also a picture of the rear?
-
Here you go. It tends to look close to steel grey in the shade, and a really bright sparkly blue/grey in the sunshine. Also compliments the red trim very well IMO.

hey, ^^^ your car looks like its sat very high??!! is it brand new?? :smiley:
-
those pics were taken a while ago... probably due to the angle of the camera or maybe the incline of the driveway!
-
JoeGTI, the more i look at ur pics, the more im loving the colour... one more thing tho, and i hope im not annoying u or anything, but can i have a picture of the front, as in exactly front and not in any angles... i wana see how it looks like with the red strip... that picture could be the deciding factor of my colour problem... thanks!

No problem! As I said, I think it compliments the red details nicely.

ok, some steel, grey is a good allrounder colour, doesnt look dirty too easily, and its metalic and means will age better the plain colours, ie white and red.

NO colour can beat BLACK in summer!
During summer black looks great during the day and even better during the evening!
Wax it during the summer months and you got yourself an head-turner wherever you go or leave it.
Also the contrast between the Monza II's and black is beautiful!
-
i like the steel grey monza inners the same the car!! :wink: now thats a contrast !

Guys, thanks for the response... Its been really helpful... I really like all the colours, but have decided to go for the United Grey... Once again, thank you! Now just need to place the order and play the waiting game... Will post a picture once received...
EDIT: HOLD UP! just got back from the VW dealership... Order has been placed and Graphite Blue it is! He showed me both colours (United Grey and Graphite Blue) and honestly, I instantly knew which one I wanted... Grey was nice, had a racing feel to it like the white and the black does, but the blue just looks classy... I mean, ur not gona see any other car in that colour! Its unique to VW...
-
Glad I helped re-inforce your choice! Its a lovely colour, a little different from the rest, you won't regret it :smiley:

What do you guys think about the Latte Macchiatto interior with the Graphite Blue? I got a call from the VW dealer and he said that they have just introduced the new interior colour...
-

This is the new Latte Colour.

Looks better than the old cream leather, but I'd still go for the anthracite.
