I like the Carbon, my only thing with it is it looks green in some lights and my dad was in two car crashes when he was younger, both as a passenger and both in green cars! Ever since my old girl reckons green is bad luck for a car and it's always stuck with me. :undecided:

Ye, so I'm not the only one that thinks that. I thought it was just me. Maybe in pictures and in the video (particularly the german autobild review) it looks greenish. But then I see these pictures, I think it looks awesome

White is awesome too, but it's going to be an overly popular gti colour judging by the spec thread.

Really like the look of carbon grey in those pictures although would be concerned if it had a green tint. Is it the same grey that you could spec with the mk6? The last three cars I've had have all been black and they have been a nightmare to keep clean and the swirl marks are a real pain. I do believe the white would be much easier to maintain but I fear that after 6 months I would be wishing I had went for a darker colour. Grey could be the inbetween choice. Decisions decisions  :undecided:

Only on the mk6 (obviously), it is a nice colour in the sun without question but in the usual british weather it can be difficult to get excited about tbh.

CSG is more black than grey

That pic alone should sell ten thousand Carbon Grey models. Simply awesome!

Having said that I've ordered white and I'm really looking forward to it. Never owned a white car before and I don't regret my decision one jot.
