Firespark Red is a stunning colour, probably should have made it exclusive to the R instead of Lapiz Blue :wink:

Have a look at the VW Germany configurator, they classify the colours as "spectrums" of blue, brown, yellow etc...

It would be great to be able to spec some retro GTi colours like Lhasa green & Helios or Monza blue.


Nice choice but they are paying for it at 1770 - 2210 Euros.
It would be interesting to see if VW UK would allow us one of those colours.

Given what that is in pounds and how much you pay in the UK already for any colour other than black or white (tornado red is now no longer "free"), I don't think that's an excessive amount.

I'm probably going to order another GTD this year and the colour issue is one that I am concerned about - I never really liked any of the colours much and the LSG I have was my attempt at "something different". Having had it now, I'd not get it again but the other choices are so meh.

So I would be paying my money for something I don't really want any which way!

If I had of being getting a hatch instead of an estate I would have went with oryx white. Granted it looks like solid white unless it is a bright day or under lights at night but for when the conditions are right I love the colour on my CC

Colour option has nothing to do with lhd/rhd. VW Ireland said I could spec any colour available in Germany. The price put me off though. VW UK seem to be far less helpful with special requests.

We do seem to get a raw deal on colours available on the GTi in the UK. Solid black is now the only colour you don't have to pay up for! Even regular red & white are £260 extra according to the VW configurator.

Amen to that.

It's finding some decent at the VW dealer that's the problem, not just a quick and easy sale.

Purple just does not go with the red GTI bits, would look way better on the R or a GTD

Firespark was on a few sciroccos before launched and gutted it has never appeared

Of the mint green from the MK3 Colour concept or the violet from the VR6.

Colours are very limited.
