GTI / GTD Colours

[The Doc]

Thanks ASKER, sorry if the question was unclear, I was referring to the colours that you can't get if you've not got a GTI / GTD I know Carbon Grey is one of them, what are the others?

Rising Blue Metallic which is only available for the R.

You can actually get any colour Volkswagen.de list as an option. All you have to do is contact VWuk and get them to put in a special request. So the colour range is not as restricted as alot of people think.

You can put in a special order request with VW sales team at VW customer service to get it in any colour VW currently do.

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your recent enquiry. I am delighted to learn of your continued interest in Volkswagen, in order to request a non standard colour on the order; the retailer will need to request a special build from the factory. If your retailer calls or emails our sales team then they can request this build from the factory.Regards

Last time I looked, over 2,000 Euros extra!

It's a shame that these colour options aren't in the golf brochure, it seems other European countries also get lots of options that we don't get here, for example electric memory seats.

Yes I posted those colours before Golf Colours so why aren't there 36 colours available?

I think the choice is crap when we only have 9 to choose from in the States they only have 7. I love blue and I love the Rising blue used on the 'R'. Why isn't it available for the rest of the range? The ONLY blue is the Shadow blue which is a bit dark because the bloke that called Blue Graphite Pearl blue must have been colour blind as its basically grey. It must have been a bloke because only blokes are colour blind.

Happy New Year guys.

I love Shadow Blue more than Rising Blue.

Now you've probably upset Rolfe.

But I see what you mean, because it looks very similar, to my eyes, to Carbon Grey.

[Rolfe]

It's quite a subtle colour, and it's more blue than Carbon Grey, but I agree I'd have preferred it slightly lighter and slightly more blue.

Look at it this way.  Nine colours available.  Six monochrome (black, white or grey/silver).  One knock-your eye out red.  And two very dark blues.  Not much of a choice, really.

I've usually gone for metallic blues, and I didn't much like the Shadow Blue car I was shown by the dealer.  Might have been wrong.  The Blue Graphite is nice when it's clean and polished, which Prospero isn't at the moment!

My last car was a rather nice shade of gold, and although that was a Hobson's Choice situation as well, I liked it.  I think the choice VW give us with the GTi is pathetic.
