Why don't you choose the colour that you like best?
That's the problem.....I like both, but what would I get fed up with the quickest ??

Then order one of each colour  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Ha ha! Yeah… order a few different ones to match your mood!!!! :grin: But now seriously :nerd: I agree, Carbon grey is more mature, I don't think it will get starred at as much as a white one, because it's more reserved. The white shouts boy racer. You'd defo need to clean it more, but you may want to anyway! Which suits you best? I went for Reflex Silver, and know many on here think it's a bit old hat and boring, but I like it. Everyone's different. Go with what's right for you.

I too had the same quandry.................ordered in white, then changed to red, then back to white & actually tried to change it about 6 weeks ago but was told it would have to be a new order (& the back of the queue!)

Stuck with white & it was delivered yesterday..................it's stunning

I really don't think it matters what colour you get, the car looks amazing.
The white is good as it shows of the definition lines on the doors fantastically

I've seen a tornado red, flat black n midnight blue (i think) in the flesh......all looked great

Colour is so subjective & a personal choice, only thing that would put me off white is that there are so many white cars on the road at the moment.

The one thing you have to remember is the other white cars on the road are 'ordinary' at best, this is a work of art  :cool:

I agree, the GTi and gtd look stunning in white. I'd never really liked white cars before and wanted the carbon grey, but my husband thought it was too dark for the gtd and in the end we went for red. We saw a white GTi when we were picking our car up and we were both drooling over it! It's really classy. With the red GTi detailing though I think all the colours look fantastic. I think the best advice is not to worry too much as the car looks so good whatever colour you choose  :smiley:

Personally I don't think you can beat Tornado Red. It's a proper old school hot hatch colour, you can get a superb shine on it and it will still stand out on a dull day. I don't think any of the other colours do that.

Oh, and it's free.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I really like the Silver - in fact this was the colour I was going to go for (with black leather) until the sales guy talked me out of it saying it doesn't look right and silver cars harder to sell...ended up with DPB with cloth seats - looks fabulous but in hindsight, should have stuck to my guns. 

I see someone on here has got the silver/leather, and it truly looks fantastic (in my eyes anyway)
