I have ordered in solid black but not seem many photos of it and not many here are talking about it. I haven't seen it in real and now worried I will regret it.

Has anyone got their mk7 GTI in solid black yet? What are your thoughts on the colour?

My dad is regretting his DBP choice (of picking up an order change mistake early as opposed to picking up the reorder in October) - it's twitful to keep clean. When it is immaculate it looks amazing, when it is not immaculate it doesn't look half as good. I would say the gloss black will be even worse for this as it doesn't have sparkly bits to break up teh very glossy surface. Have a Black or Carbon Grey or Night blue Golf and be prepared to wash it a lot!
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Not solid but it gives you an idea:

And although he's spitting on the dashboard it's a decent video to see the colour:

Watch this and you will NOT regret it.  Best looking vid I've seen:

Yup, black will look stunning when washed and properly dried, but will soon lose its beauty.  Even the act of washing a black car is a bind compared to, say, white or silver.  I've had one black car in my life, and unless I win the lottery and can afford to employ somebody to look after my cars, I'll never have another one!
