Hi, I've been following this forum for a week now. I ordered my Gti in Reflex Silver two weeks ago (unconfirmed build week 50). Was beginning to think I'd have the only Silver one in the UK (when it eventually arrives). Everyone seems to be going for white, red, deep black pearl or carbon grey metallic. I do very much like the Gti in white, but in the end went for Reflex Silver - I felt it was a little more understated, and doesn't show the dirt as much! But know what you mean about every other car being silver these days. It did make me think twice.
Thanks for posting the pistonheads road test, it's been hard finding pics of the car in silver... something to drool over until Jan/Feb arrival!
