Hi guys I know you will be delighted with your choice of carbon grey, but don't forget to add the monza shadows too

Without Hijacking this thread i was gonna go with the following.

Monza Shadows
Lux pack
Winter Pack
DAB
RCD510
Xenons

50/50 on manual or DSG. Not getting into a debate on this. I've seen what happens when we talk about this topic.

You get heated seats with the winter pack on cloth.


As for 510, I went for the 310 as it was specced in the car I bought (couldn't be arsed to wait for a factory order, got 99% of what I wanted from a stock car). However first thing I did was get a 510, the 310 doesn;t look good at all with the rest of the GTI interior, i'd say defo go 510 but maybe don't get the dynaudio?

As for colour, completely personal choice of course, I love red, white, black.

I've got a Blue Graphite with cloth, and I think it's the bee's knees, the cat's pyjamas and the best thing since polo mints with holes in them.  Meet Prospero.







I will admit it does look quite grey in some lights, but if you like grey, that's probably a bonus (I'd really have preferred it a bit blue-er).  The photograph probably makes it look more blue than it looks in real life.  I'd like to see it sitting next to a Carbon Grey actually, to see just how much difference there is.

I started out wanting the leather but changed my mind during the choosing process and I'm very pleased with the cloth.  The tartan seats give a degree of visual interest missing from the black leather, and the quality is excellent.  I have the heated seats with the winter pack and they're excellent.

It's subtle, it's gorgeous, and I would probably like Prospero to be unique, one of a kind.

But get his twin, go on!

^ I like graphite blue better than the gray myself. I use to like the gray but I have seen both colours in real life and one of my work mates has just got a mk5 GTsport in Graphite blue so i get to see this colour everyday out of my window its a colour thats really grown on me. As above it changes with the light it does look more blue than the photos above in what little sunlight we have at the moment imo.
Every cars out there at the moment seems to be a gray or white, be different go blue
