So I drove the new car too and from work today and I must say I'm beginning to really enjoy it now. I was a bit unsure yesterday as I really don't like change and I found myself thinking perhaps I should have kept the mk6! I have however found another floor with the mk7. The steering lock has got worse. Another thing that makes me think the wheels are the wrong offset!

I was absolutely torn between pure white and carbon grey and opted for the carbon grey.....I still really like the pure white so really hope I made the right decision.....love seeing the pics of the carbon grey and it does go very well with the red detail and interior I think.

I'm sure you won't be disappointed.  I think Carbon Grey is one of the nicest colours for both the GTD and GTI. :cool:  Looks equally good with the silver stripe and the red lipstick.   It's a real shame it wasn't an option for the R  :sad:

I don't think you'll regret it asbost. I'm chuffed with CSG. Looks even better in the flesh. I can't help but feel White has had its day tbh.

excellent colour choice, dont think it will be easy to keep it clean though, they are still building houses in my street and the dust covers the car as soon as it has been cleaned.

no such things as the best colour. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone wants to think they have the best colour. Lucky to have the problem in that you can afford to buy a new car and chose the colour. Cant see the colour when you driving, so who is it for ? Anyway for the record, oak green  :smiley:
