i thought you said carbon black?   :laugh:

black is by far the coolest colour.  it might show up the dirt a little more than the grey, but that gives you the incentive to clean the car and treat it well.  remember that the grey will be just as dirty, but since you won't clean it as often, the dirt will stay on your paintwork for longer.... with whatever adverse affects that may have.

black is also best for resale, much easier to sell on.

finally, grey is the colour of john major....  :sick: :tongue:

it wasn't that I thought the white looked bad  -  it looks good  -  but it's just not me.

no leather for you?

no leather for me this time. got leather with my current motor (Mk5 GT Sport TSI 170) and i am quite looking forward going back to the cloth seats. I have been happy with the leather just fancy a change back again.

gossa - these attempts to get me to change my mind are predictable - I like carbon grey and I'm comfortable with my choice - you're all wind up merchants - now use your energies to better effect, you lot, by switching to Sky Sports 1 and get behind Newcastle....SCORED!

Carbon Grey is monochrome and uninteresting and John Major.

Blue Graphite looks like Carbon Grey in certain lights, but then you realise there's sooooooo much more to it than that....
