Me likes the black GTI, what size wheels/tyres are they?  Has it been lowered, if so what kit was it?  Thanks

I've ordered mine in silver.  I want something that goes well with black wheels - that isn't white!
White looks great, but is easily dirty, and I can't help feeling white is a 'fad'.
Silver is a happy medium - easiest to keep clean and shows up less marks etc.  It looks good on anything, and doesn't stand out too much... and never goes out of fashion.

My ED30 was Steel Grey - which was kind of the same.  Blended into the background, reasonably easy to clean...
I'd have ordered the same again, but I really want black wheels and steel grey is a bit dark for them.

Black is definately the best looking colour when its polished and shiney... but the problem is that within 30 minutes, the dust has settled, and its dirty again.  I've had 3 black cars in the last 5 years - and I don't think I'd have another one in a hurry.  If you get black, make sure you have plenty of time to look after it!

I'd agree - there was a silver R32 parked in our street this morning, I didn't even notice it until I had walked right up to it! Looked very nice and subtle in silver.

anyone got some pictures of the above , just orderd mk6 in silver but having second thoughts about the choice of couler??? Thanks Steve30

I almost chose silver on the strength of this pic but ended up choosing white.

The BBS wheels look good Exonian. For Gizzy, they look even better on a black one.

Got to say that motor looks the Dogs B------- ream motor!! Steve30

You're right I like the look of those on the black car, what a shine you've got on your car it looks fantastic.

Here is mine in Carbon Steel Grey

[keelaw]

nice motor! 

tho isn't the colour called "Carbon Grey".  Steel Grey is a different colour.

note how it looks black at first, but also slightly bluey... has great depth of colour.

Simply superb. The colour/wheel combination is critical and you've got it just right there (though I can't help wondering how long it will stay as clean as that at this time of year )
