MKV GTI | Reflex Silver | 5-dr | Anthracite 17" | Manual | Highline MFD | Cruise | Revision 'D' DV | Dirty Pipes |

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Those pics make the colour look like cheap, flat, Company Car blue...they don't do it any favours!

True, it's because of the snow. My Mk5 R32 in Deep Blue Pearl always looked flat in dull snowy conditions.



In bright sunlight, it'll look mint. :cool:

The 4 inches of snow piled on the roof probably isn't helping. :laugh:
