Running In new GTI

Can let you have a look if in the local area.  It looks stunning in Oryx White with the red accent around the front and red brake calipers.  To be honest Pure White is the same paint as Oryx White just that Oryx has an extra lacquer on top to add the pearl effect. In certain light you would be hard pressed to noticed the difference between pure white and oryx.  It's only noticable when you get a bit of direct light hitting the paint allowing the speculaity of the pearl effect to do it's thing. To back up my statement, I bought Oryx White spray can the other day and it comes in a set of three cans, one is Pure White, the others are laquer and pearl effect coating.

So pure white is not far off having Oryx anyway. Enjoy the car, you will not regret choosing the white either, trust me

I like colour contrast and like you say the white will set off the red badges, callipers and black grill. Just a little concerned that the white will not shine that well. Anyway the best part is driving !

I had a completely white Civic Type-R Championship White prior to my Golf GTI, even the wheels were white.  Believe me when I say it will shine very well when in daylight.  The white on my Civic when the car was clean, was literally blinding, and it was a standard paint which was a creamier off white than the Golf.  If you are in doubt of it not shining as much as you would like take a look at the threads regarding cleaning your car the right way and give it a polish.  Some of the cars on these threads look like the paint is coated in glass they are that shiny.  However if you want a mirror like finish so you can see your reflection and wish to polish it regularly dark colours will provide a more mirror like reflection.  But personally I have owned black, red and white cars,  White wins out every time for me.

Thanks for that, I will stick with white
