The Colour Thread

[blueheaduk]

I figured with the number of people unsure which colour they want from their GTI that perhaps a gallery showcasing each in the flesh might be quite useful.

Ah dammit that night blue is growing on me.  This is not helping!

I think it looks nice from the rear Bill with the lights but your losing the striking features at the front with the darker colours

You make a good point.  Also supposedly I've seen night blue in person (on a standard mk7) and it didn't look great.  However, I strongly suspect the dealer was mistaken because it didn't look anything like any of the videos or photos of night blue.  Sometimes I wonder if they make up half the stuff they say...

Ah ! Boogger 
I picked Tornado Red and now I'm liking the Carbon Grey!!
Back to indecisive - oh well, soon it will be too late (I hope)

That night blue looks similar to shadow blue if it shines like shadow blue it will look great imo.

If you have time of course.

Just waiting on the sales guy to become free to go for a run. Initial impressions the seats look the nuts. The blue is a safe bet non descript.
