Just picked up my White Silver R today and very pleased I went with that colour, it does look quite grey from certain angles but you do get different shades according to the light.

Where's the photos? If you didn't take any then go outside and do it now, some people on here have no patience you know

New member checking in. Have a deep pearl black 7.5 GTD ordered. I know it's just bog standard black but I don't suppose anyone has seen one in the flesh or has a photo?

The colour you have ordered is far from a bog standard black, especially if you take care to prep the car properly and look after it on a regular basis.
Take at look at Booth11's Mk7 R to see what can be achieved with DBP :smiley:

Haha, yeah wrong turn of phrase. I've been pining after a black Mark 7/7.5 since driving behind one at night on the motorway with it gleaming. I'll happily deal with it easily getting dirty for those shiny clean, post wash looks  :cool:

You guys are very impatient  :laugh:

I have a very impatient Weimaraner who demands a morning walk.
I am no David Bailey mind but have taken a few photo's now I need to be able to attach them to a post.
Will have to workout how to do that and give it ago.  :lipsrsealed:
