Pics of Non-Metallic Black

[KyleB]

Have tried searching but can only find pictures of the metallic black, does anyone have pictures of the none metallic, no cost, black?

I have tried to find it too but haven't yet found any however what I did was go on auto trader and looked it up. I am told its same as the mk6 but even still you will struggle to see the difference. Go to a VW dealership and I am sure they will have a non-metallic black forgot to view as it doesn't have to be a gti as I assume all models will be he same.

I think this is Normal Black, its really difficult to tell.
They had this at the dealership as a demonstrator but sold it before it was even registered.

These are off of VW Vortex.

The non metallic black will definitely look blacker than the deep black pearl, due to the lack of sparkly mica embedded in it. Ricepop's thrird pic (above) of the front corner loonks DBP to me when the light is on it. Can't be sure whether the flecked/speckled (very subtle) surface is mica from DBP or fine dust on a gloss black finish.

Cheers guys for all the replies. Surprisingly more shiny than I thought it'd be

It'll look shiny and the absolute dogs danglies.... For about 5 mins after you wash it. It'll break your heart with dirt, swirls, scratches, etc.... I've been that soldier and that was with metallic. Flat black is worse.

What he just said.

Don't be tight, pay the extra and have the metallic. Besides, with the length of time it's taking for cars to be delivered, you've got plenty of time to save.

Or stick with the Tornado red that you have. It looks great in all weathers (haven't had much sun this week to take sunny pics and now it's gail force winds and rain).

Yep, stick with red as black is a pain in the arse at best.
I've had three black cars (all bought second hand so didn't have the luxury of choice) and each time I swore it would be the last.
Red is great. Very easy to keep looking its best.
