What's your colour choice?

I usually like blue cars best. I havent seen the Shadow Blue though does anyone have a picture of it?

Shadow blue photos.

Thanks for those pix. I hadn't seen a shadow blue GTI and I must say it looks... well, a bit odd really. Maybe it's because I used to have a Golf Plus TDI in that colour and it was a bit dull, but I think it looks kind of boring, especially with 17" wheels and mudflaps :embarassed:

There was a bigger car in Shadow Blue parked outside at the first dealer I was looking at.  I thought it was a bit dark and a bit ordinary, though those pictures look quite nice.

I thought the Blue Graphite might have a bit more subtlety to it, but again it might be very dark.  I thought the red trim complemented the Blue Graphite better than the Shadow Blue though.

(Probably said this before.)  I liked the lighter blue of one of the cars shown in Paris last autumn, but us Brits aren't allowed that colour.  On the other hand, again the red trim didn't seem to go so well with it.

The standard colour choices for the GTI are really quite uninspiring. I like blue cars - although blue graphite does look good when the suns out it's a bit dull the rest of the time. So I'd choose one of the German specials like this one from the Paris show:



Or have a Golf R which presumably will be available in the same blue as the Scirocco R.

The trouble with the German specials - apart from whatever hoops you have to jump through to get a right-hand-drive car in one of these colours - is the prices.  They're insane!

Bump again.

Remember guys, while the other thread's for voting on which colours you like, this one's for telling us the one you've actually ordered (or would order if you were buying one).

Hmm, I'd probably ask for one in that German Special blue or in yellow.
