It was on a GT in walsall the other day, looked crackin!!

Cannot find a single picture of a reflex silver GTI. Only one is a Golf 7 here.

Fast forward to 7.10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbZR3MRaIrE

Is that definitely silver?  Looks like it could be white (pearl?) under some weird lighting.

It looks silver to me and every other mk in that video is silver.

CraigW: Not sure how much different normal nav looks from nav pro.

If I were to jump the queue i'd rather have the Pure White GTI (proper UK spec with ADC) on 19" Santiagos and some other bits I didn't identify (that added £1300ish to the purchase price) that is unregistered at Scotswood Road Benfield.

Seems a few unallocated GTIs are coming up through the North East dealerships (mcmaddy has just seen one in Pulman that isn't the demo) - GTIs less popular in the north east than GTDs, leaving unused GTI allocation that the dealerships are using to buy stock cars?

benfield and pulman pulled the same trick with the mk6 too in 2009 its just them trying to cash in on people who wont wait and are willing to pay list

Definitely not representative of Newcastle upon Tyne. The only newish cars that aren't White/Silver/Grey/Black seem to be the hordes of Burnt Orange or Burgundy Nissan Jukes and Qashquais that are seen around here. Nissan popularity in Tyne and Wear seems to stem from the proximity of the Sunderland Nissan plant. Get a little way out from the catchment area of teh plant for employment (like Teesside) and the number of Nissans seem to drop considerably.

Big cars like BMW 3/5 and Audi's larger than A3 look sh!te in white - for some reason metallic blues and greys seem to suit them far better.

Too right lots of white cars up here. 2 white mk6 gtis 1ed30 and a polo gti coming the other way to me this morning within less than 9 miles.. I know of two other white gti mk6 owners local to me too and lots of mk5 GTIs in white local were flooded with them.
Half my works carpark is white cars.

Not all white cars look the bizz tho...there are white cars and then there are "white" cars. No Swirl marks to look at, they are either very clean or very dirty (I hate the half dirty look!) So, you put your white GTD/GTI against, say a white A5 or even A3 and the golf will look amazing imho
