I'm thinking of going to look at this gtd in white silver , dunno if it's just my eyes but just looks white to me , I like the contrast with the black

Have another look a that video. I can see white cars in the background and it appears to be parked beside a silver car. When you see it in the flesh make sure you see it beside theses colours.

I wonder, from a distance, is this going to look like a white car covered in road traffic film

I expected white silver to look pretty white but really looked a very dull grey. I'm sure the light can improve it but this was a real life dull day viewing and wasn't inpressed.

Checked with dealer and the blue GTD was indeed Atlantic which was nice. Anyone seen Isaac Blue in real life to see how it compares.

there's an r version in crewe in this color and tbh it looks like a very pale grey, it's not a bad color.

i've managed to see the indium grey, this imo is ok but to light in the sun. the black rubin is purple and not nice tbh. i'm still waiting to find a blue and black to check them out.. not spending owt until i see them in the flesh

Sunderland VW have an Issac blue GTD as a demonstrator for those in that area.

Here's a vid of a white silver facelift GTI, I quite like it.

Hi, just seen the ice white GTD again but this time at a standstill. Colour is quite a head turner. It seems to go from white, grey and then light blue as you move around the car.

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.
