I nearly went for silver, it was very close and could have gone either way, most my previous cars were silver and my mk1 is silver. I just decided sod it have a change this time. I find it a shame VWs current silver has so many filings in the paint and therefore is not as mirror reflective as there older diamond silver was. Mind a good detail makes a huge difference compared to stock finish. I do miss not having silver sometimes as it does not show up the dirt as much.
