I know that's what i told them! But they're investigating for me to find out further :P I've yet to see Urano Grey in the flesh but I loved the look of Carbon Steel on the Mk6 - can anyone tell me if theyre similar? Colour is probably one of the most important aspects for me as I like to admire my car!

Carbon Grey on the mk6 is a metallic colour. Urano Grey is a flat, non-metallic colour. I find the metallic flake in Carbon Grey on my mk6 really sparkles in the sunlight; you won't get this same effect with Urano Grey as there are no metallic flakes in the paint.

Colour choice is a really personal thing, but if I was thinking of ordering a mk7, I wouldn't go for Urano Grey. Come resale time, 'popular' colours will be much easier to sell. Look at reply no. 122 in this thread and take the advice of Lee (evo1986) who's a VW sales exec; avoid Urano Grey, especially as you've said colour is probably one of the most important aspects for you.

I've got Carbon Grey at the moment - such a shame its not available on the Mk7.  Wouldn't consider Urano Grey as its a solid colour - Lee is right it will not attract a good resale price, so thinking it will have to be Limestone Grey for me.

I went for Tornado Red in the end - good choice in terms of resale?!

Just had a call from the dealer, he says he's put the order for my car in but the only thing he couldn't order was the colour computer screen?? He's querying it but can't speak to VW till tuesday now! I reallly don't understand whats going on atm, did they mess around with the spec much when the mk6 was released?? >:(
