Tungsten is also in my consideration but not sure it beats Indium. Have we any pics of the silver?

Hope the owner doesn't mind me posting their car.

Looks a bit insipid to be honest.

Wheels maketh the car :wink:.  I like Tungsten, that car would look very different on one of the optional sets of wheels.

I've gone for Indium on mine though.

Not a huge fan of tungsten either tbh, but yeah, with a different set of wheels it could look a lot lot better. Its a lighter colour and the lighter colours do look good.

Tungsten is kinda a fancy name for mid Grey, with Carbon being Dark Grey and White silver being Very light Grey - VW could have kept their colour naming so much easier or go for a numeric scale like
Grey 1
Grey 2
Grey 3

That's a good shout and I'm surprised VW with typical German efficiency didn't opt for it.
