Deep black pearl effect  :shocked: !!!!! Looks a beast. However, don't see many red cars around, so will be a head turner. Personal preference at the end of the day.

Flat black will still look impressive. Hard to differentiate between that and the DBP id have said. Cant beat black IMO, get some darker tints on the back and itl look pretty mean. Red is stunning, seen one round here and it looks great. Not that many red cars on the road either so it will stand out. Personally I think its a no brainer...black!

Tornado Red.

You can get just as impressive a shine as you can with black, plus it will still look good when the sun has gone in. Black is also a very unforgiving colour. It will show every mark and frustrate you when you can see the layer of dust forming minutes after you've finished cleaning it. 
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Red would be a lot easier to look after ,and looks great , Pearl looks the dogs , but shows every mark in it's
mirror reflection in the sun .
But at the end of the day it always looks Class .

In most of the pics I find myself regretting not getting the red, but then I see the red in daylight and it looks pinkish. Then I think that the white looks amazing!

So I have no idea lol
