That Carbon Grey is really growing on me.
If I change my mark 5 to a GTD, will be down to Pure White, Night Blue or Carbon Grey.

Do Linwood have a car for test driving?

Sorry I'm not sure tbh (don't think so) that red one only had the usual delivery miles on it & up for sale. I was too busy taking pics to ask lol

It's worth giving them a call Jim to see if they will let you take it out :)

Ok I know I biased because I've ordered TR but I especially like the front view in Red, I think the grills and the black details on the front look great against the red. Having said that I might consider CSG next time, it's a great looking colour on the GTI

Think they both look lovely, love both colours.  Stop making me feel bad about ordering Oryx White, those cars look amazing!

By the time my car arrives, white will be out of fashion.

Great photos, well done.

Thanks mate :)
My dealer ordered an Oryx white GTI for the showroom same day as mine so if by chance they come together I'll make sure to get pics

The more I look at CSG - the more it seems like it is the best colour!  It looks so nice against the red.  Much more subtle than white.  Just a really great looking car in that colour.  Classy and attractive.

Sorry to bang on about it!

It really is a lovely colour, and if I were getting an ordinary Golf or something like a Polo, I'd probably opt for that in all honestly.  However, I do think that the GTI, with the various black and red accents on it, white provides a nice neutral background for them to stand out.

Would have to be another grey shade though as CSG is only for GTI/GTD remember. :wink:
