Interesting. No more Carbon Grey. Any more info on what the facelift changes will be?

Do the deletions of the two Golf colours apply to all Golfs including GTD/GTi/R? and the Estate versions?

Isn't carbon grey only available on GTI & GTD currently anyway so it must do? Shame, I love CSG!

Good point. Yeah it is exclusive colour.

I remember when i originally ordered my GTD - CSG wasn't even an available option on the system for some reason.

So that's an official VW communication that says "facelift Q1 2017"

I think that's the news here isn't it? Not the paint colours...

+1. They are clearly scaling back production of the MK7. It's been obvious here in Ireland for ages as they keep throwing extra kit (leather, nav, etc) into the cars at no extra cost.

Yes looks like it.  I'll share on the Rforum.

Night Blue is a great colour (though not so hot on GTi with the red stripe)!
