Yeah mate - Deep Black.  I need to get a few protective coats of wax on her but the weather has just been so dire since I took delivery.

I will definitely ensure my next new car is ordered for delivery in the summer.  :rolleyes:

From the metallics, I find Shadow Blue very classy.

However, if your choice is between Carbon Grey and Metallic Black, definitely choose Carbon Grey IMO.
:tongue:  :sad: metallic black all day long, looks great when clean and shiny and mean when its dirty.
Deep Black Pearl Mk7 GT TDI 150.

I prefer the dark colours (Carbon Grey and Deep Black), but wanted to know the views of the team.
Of the two colours my choice would be carbon grey.

Where's my 'emotional' take on colours I posted at 1 am?  Hmmm. The New Year Fairy has been busy again.

Anyway, a bit more advice to the OP.

Most of us pay nearly 100% attention in selecting the external colour of the Golf and very little on the interior as there is hardly any choice. It's obviously not a premium enough brand but nudges with a premiun price. Pretty annoying.

Seeing that one spends most of one's time inside the car, is it not even more important to get the colour scheme inside to perfectly suit one's taste when this rare opportunity arises?

The OP in this case has, and I'd advise him to choose the colour of the interior leather very carefully and then decide on the outside colour. But please avoid a dark interior with a dark exterior colour.

Just a thought.  :smiley:


....... and here is a Tornado Red GTI in all its passionate glory.

Slightly different colour chart for R. Carbon Grey and Flat Black not available. Rising Blue available in their place. This colour not available for GTI/GTD. Total 8 colours, 2 Flat, 6 Metallic/Pearl.
