I was at the Paris motorshow where they launched the GTI and the car there was definitely pearl not flat white. That's why I ordered it!  :smiley:

Shows how little I know then Mate lol. This is the first video I have seen where the pearl shows through especially on the bonnet area, I'm looking forward to seeing it in the sun !

Good point Craig although to be fair a big yellow sphere has appeared on a couple of days over the last two weeks, but I accept I'm being optimistic :cool: considering the last few summers  :cry:

It's too light to be Carbon Grey. Think it's Limestone Grey.

I strongly suspet its limestone grey, but it could be tungsten silver?

I took this picture of a limestone grey mk7 GT the other day but it doesn't pop anywhere near as much as the ones I the above link. Tbh I don't think it suits the GTD/GTI at all.

The more I look at it in that 'Limestone' - the more I like it  :sad:
The longer I wait for my car - the more I worry if I've picked the right colour!

Oh do hurry up VW - hehehehe
