If it were me I would go for the carbon grey it is a nice subtle colour and the jacara cloth seats look well with it, almost but not quite as good as black lol.

Apologies to Rolfe cos I know she has graphite blue but it is just not a GTI colour imo.

In addition to my last post have a look at FroGti posts or Rolfes both have pics of their carbon grey and graphite blue cars.

once I've decided on the colour, I'll order  -  I've made up my mind on the 'big' questions  -  manual, cloth, no ACC, no Sat Nav  -  only other question is RCD 510 or not  -  yes, the big screen with the RCD 510 looks more impressive that the 310 facia but if I go for the 510, I'll end up spending the extra £300-odd on the Dynaudio which makes the whole think an extra £700  -  but I've heard the 'ordinary' speakers and they are more than fine (I listen to the radio more than CDs anyway!), I can only listen to one CD at a time  -  don't NEED to load 6 at a time  -  and, ok, the bigger screen looks good (to the criminal element, too?) but I don't think I'd give it a second thought if I stuck to the 310  -  I'm almost there....

 no doubt about it, Squirrel  -  what about my other option decisions? I think I've talked myself into sticking with the RCD 310  -  I wish I could do without the winter pack but my wife and the kids love seat warmers  -  I don't!
