Best Golf R colour

[Exonian]

I've gone for white on the R Estate for this reason and will just call it Bosch

Best colour for the R Estate.

Colours I see most are Lapiz, TR and White.  My favourite colours for the R are Reflex Silver and LSG.  And I'm not normally a fan of silvers on Golfs but these two just seem to work on the R in particular.  Oh, and DBP's not bad either.

I would have ordered silver had things have turned out differently.
I've only seen one R in silver in the flesh and really liked it, under the street lights it really picked out the lines and accents to the extent you could just picture the designers knocking up the shape in CAD mock ups.

I found the estate a bit more colour sensitive, most colours are on the used car bit of the VW website and i liked the white, just needs some roof bars and blue bar pads

Would have ordered Oryx white for the GTD as love it but wanted the DCC more and so paint is was an easy trade off, and unless completely passionate about a colour then would stick with the standard white to give myself enough pounds for a preferred option.

Black is an amazing colour when pristine, which Kalimon comments, Rebecca R photos and then myself with 2 x pearl black quattro support but its high maintenance and mine never looked ever near their best in time had them as simply did not care for them as often as needed.

CSG would be my colour of choice on the R and typical its not an option!

Might pay for a colour this time though and its the black (have to fool myself that would clean it more), lapiz or standard white again (Oryx is too costly even if love)

I've gone for a pure white Golf R as its been a fantastic paint on my GTI in terms of durability and the way it's not picked up many stone chips.
Going to hopefully get mine Gtechniq detailed once it arrives.

Even though I have a white GTI I'd order my R in either DBP (black) or Lapiz Blue. Both look stunning.

Black ones look pure evil and I don't see hardly any on the road.

Lapiz looks very very but is the most common colour (because its exclusive).

I do love a clean Lapiz Blue but if I was ordering a R tomorrow I would have Reflex Silver with Pretoria's in a heartbeat !!

Although I see loads of R's in lapiz blue I think I'd be tempted to go for that colour as it is the unique colour for the car however LSG and reflex silver are very nice especially when combined with the panoramic roof.

One that was outside my apartment the other day.

That's actually a really good angle to show off the Golf's lines Craig.

The white is definitely a robust colour, there is not a mark on mine aside from some tar marks and nothing a real good clean would not have back to pristine

My black cars showed every mark and swirl and bird dropping and seemed to chip to the white primer far too easily really, so nothing major but the black to white contrast does have you picking them out. None of these issues are not resolved by a good clean and detail but you just have to be doing it pretty regularly to see the best of black as it does fade quickly where as the white keeps affect for quite a time without maintenance.

Looking at other colour just to have a change really where if was being sensible would stay with benefits of the white of zero additional cost and durability as well as being great colour for the MK 7 lines.

Just out of interest, in the long life of this board does anyone know why CSG is not an optional colour for the R?

Other colour are available across the range so why exclude that particular one? is it just manufacturing and they have to drop one colour to bring in Lapiz?
