Mk7 Gti PP - Golf R
« on: 04 November 2015, 19:35 »
Guys am looking into maybe changing over to a 5 door R from my 5 door Gti PP
What colours would be the most stunning to have? my brother has just picked up his Tornado red 5 door, so that's out the question, :grin:
I was looking at Pure White or the iconic Lapiz Blue am undecided which way to go. :undecided:

Whats the feedback out there??? :wink:

Seen a LSG grey round town and it was a real head turner.

To be honest it looks good in any of the colours.  Out of Lapiz and Pure White, I prefer Lapiz (just not a white car person).  Reflex silver looks nice on the Mk7 too, suits the sharp lines.

What's your gut feeling?

If you remember I had a pure White Mk7 Gti PP, and had to change due to software problems and now running a Carbon Grey Gti PP.....am swaying towards the Lapiz Blue as its the iconic colour to the R, am just waiting my time till the right one appears.
I am very good friends with the sales man at Gti World in Edinburgh, and the deal on the white R is very tempting and I can drive it away this weekend.....am in a good position just now as I have a 1 1/2 yr newer car so I have a lot of equity on the Gti so the deal am getting is not to be sniffed at.....My brother just picked up his Tornado Red R a month ago and that looks very smart aswell.....I had a decent test drive from him as I went down to Gti World Edinburgh from North of Aberdeen to pick it up with him, so I got to drive it home from Dundee to Fraserburgh a 100 miles or so...... :grin: :grin: :grin:

So very keen on a R, so if the right one pops up I might treat my self to an early Santa present  :whistle:

Dean is a top bloke at GTI World. I'm sure you know Doug that I had a lapis blue for a week from Dean and the colour is truly stunning. I know it's a very popular colour but I can understand why. I would go with either Lapis or possibly reflex silver which appears to be very rare

Lapis gets you noticed a lot because the colour is exclusive. You won't see an R Line rocking lapis. If you are looking for discrete I would say black

I tossed and turned over colour when ordering mine, it was between Lapiz and Red, in the end I choose red, a week before collecting I saw a Lapiz R and thought I'd made the wrong choice, then I collected mine and new I'd made the right choice :smiley:

I think your brother was right :grin:

It's weird I never went through any other colour options with mine. It was lapis or a different car lol. Either way you'll be extremely happy, the car is awesome
