We seem to have the blue thing covered  :grin:

I don't think the Blue Silk foes on the Polo GTI, the blue does not look with the red highlights of that car

The only problem with the lapiz is it appears to be a tw@t magnet, i think it looks amazing in the sun or under led lighting at night

Remember you can always pay the £1500-£2000 for a special order colour on the Golf!

Not quite sure how anyone can describe 'Lapiz Blue' as 'odd'. It's just a shade of blue. It's also by far and away the most popular colour for the R.

Silk Blue is nice but it looks a bit 'Match' to me.

Silver all the way as far as I'm concerned:


I think I'd go for either Tungsten or plain old silver if I was ordering right now (especially if it was an R) as my white is permanently filthy with building site dust. Silver seems to suit the mk7 but looked pretty dull on my first mk6

f**k that!

Mind you if I was wealthy enough to justify blowing £40k on a fully loaded R I'd not think too much of an extra couple grand on a nice paint scheme I guess. But I'm not and I don't think I'd buy a Golf if I had that sort of money anyway...  :grin:
