What's your colour choice?

I had this black sapphire metallic BMW 323i.... ahhhhh it was my pride and joy.... everyday before I took her out, I would dust her and would admire it for a few minute before I drove her out the garage.... then in the sunlight I would see all the dust I had missed and see all strokes in which you had done with the duster.... huurrrumph.... and then spring comes and the car looks like a duck having skin problems when all the pollen starts to stick to the car especially pollen that looks like feathers cotton fluffs.... ha ha ha

Reflex Silver. Why? It's a company car so flat colour (non metallics) were not approved. So out goes white (lovely but will be everywhere). I liked CGM a lot, but it was not available on short notice. And I liked Silver because: it's not the most common colour for a GTI, it looks rather like a wolfe in sheepskin, it's a light colour which I like on the Golf's bodywork, it's very practical to keep that clean look.

And, guys, I'm almost 40 now: I don't want to go screaming around like "watch my car, it's a true GTI!". I prefer to keep low profile. Silver does just that. Which is exactly what I want.  :embarassed:

i like silver too, looks very smart.  but my last car was silver and the missus has a thing for black.... (don't ask!)

Candy White for me .. and just 4 more weeks to wait until it arrives!!!!!!

Red was ruled out for me as my mkV is red and i wanted something that would be noticed so it had to be white! Better not go out of fashion too soon!!!!

went with white


And I challenge anyone to have a dirtier candy white than me!

Situation seems to be pretty black and white so far.  Awaiting an influx of reds though, I'm sure there were more red guys out there ( or the perhaps they just post more?!)

Quickly decided on carbon grey, almost by elimination:

• red says "I really want a Ferrari, but can't afford one"
  black looks fantastic when clean, but only stays that way for 300 yards. Also swirl marks are highly visible, even from a distance
  blues just don't look right on a GTI
  silver looks too ordinary, like a TDI
  white looks like a French ambulance
  the other 2 greys look a bit weird

Carbon grey is also unique to the GTI (for the moment)

Nice to see that there is not too many red cars out there

Black is in demand hence helps resale value

Bump!

Only 28 votes?  We can do better than that.

And I want to know who the third Blue Graphite is.

I haven't seen a single pic of a Mk VI Blue Graphite.  Only the two pics of his Mk V that Joe posted, he says it's the same colour.  Hope that's right, that top picture is the business!
