Deap Pearl Black pictures!

I saw my first "live" GTi (i.e. one on the streets and not in a dealer) las week in central Leeds and it was just like this. Despite the fact that that I get my carbon grey one next Saturday the wife had to practically drag me off it!! In fact I'm thinking of divorcing her and marrying the car instead!!!!
Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!

just jizzed in my pants sorry people.  this colour has to be up there with the best, amongst red + white.

Men!   

Black or white or red.  The greatest colours.   

Along with grey, I suppose!  Crikey, I'm a bit surprised there isn't a turd-brown too.

Does it even occur to the designers that there might be some buyers not suffering from terminal x-chromosome deficiency?

So all that's left for anyone with a bit more subtlety in their tastes is two very very dark shades of blue.  One of which is fairly "primary" itself, too.

I could just take their design team and shake them.

If you can call shadow blue metallic a shade of dark blue me thinks maybe you should be hurrying down to spec savers!! it is a almost royal blue which is certainly in no way dark.  It also looks c>*p on the gti.

I was shown a car (not a GTi) in Shadow Blue by the first dealer I visited, and I agree it's basically Royal Blue, but a very dark Royal.  I didn't really think it would look good on the GTi, I agree.

I'd call it three shades of grey (silver is really a metallic grey), two of black and one of white.  Have these guys no soul?  I hope I'm going to like the Blue Graphite, but I'd have liked more choice.  I can't help wondering if anyone at all is taking them up on the wide spectrum of colours they're advertising in Germany though. Over 2,000 euros is just jawdropping.  I can't see the justification for that, as you can get similar colours on other cars for perfectly reasonable prices.

Maybe one day we'll be back to the 1960s and two-tone, stylish cars with some imagination and soul to them!

in my opinion, pictures NEVER do a car justice (real life pictures - not photoshopped stuff ).

When has anyone come back and said, 'oh do you know what, the pictures on the forum looked better than real life!'

Truth be told!

Thats your view but mine is different i like shadow blue on the GTI its why we have a mk5 in that colour and maybe soon a mk6 too. I like it better than all the many different borring shades of john mager grays or colour tinged shades of gray available.

Each to there own. I do wish there was a better colour range in the uk though.
