Mk7.5 GTI/GTD Colour Poll

[Avallon]

I need more Black Rubin pics. Seen pics/video on the VW used car site and a set of pics on the FB page of Swansway VW. Still can't figure out whether Black Rubin is like Nissan's Nightshade (liquid black, then purple in direct sunlight) or just plain maroon...

Nissan Nightshade is a metallic colour and it's the metallic flake particles in the paint that makes it appear to change colour in different lighting conditions from black to a deep aubergine colour. VW Black Rubin is a non-metallic colour so will look pretty much the same colour (burgundy/maroon) under all lighting conditions.

If there's a Black Rubin Golf that you've seen on VW's website that's a reasonable distance from where you live, why not go and see it 'in the flesh'. That way, you'll know for certain whether you like it or not.

That's the problem - there isn't. My local dealership doesn't even have a facelift GTI yet...

I've found some more pictures of the GTI in Isaac Blue and White Silver. Isaac Blue looks quite dark in this photo. I have ordered a GTI in Pure White and have today to change my mind about what colour I want! I'm thinking that Pure White maybe too common!

Bugger, should have got white silver. How did they get red leather seats?

On our quiet country road there were 5 Golf's last Friday. If you don't want common then you are looking at the wrong car. Though I prefer to use the word popular

White contrasts really well with the red and black trim. Our roads are regularly covered in mud, so I had to rule it out. And I'm not a hairdresser

White silver is becoming my favourite. I've seen a couple of R's in that colour and it really is nice, contrasts great with the shiny black bits.

The red seats must be after market.

White silver is probably my choice my friend has a cooper S in it and it looks great.

The car that the guy was sold from the dealer had cloth seats and he was adamant he wanted leather. So they used a company that does interior work for them to retrim the interior. IMO the interior looks awful.

I'm interested to see what the Velour looks like as i have ordered that!

The Velour will look great. I would have gone for it if I didn't like the tartan.

My uncle has red leather seats in his TTS. Abattoir red

+1 for the Art Velours. Though I do like the standard seats too.

The more I see of white silver, the more I dislike it.
I'm not sure it's even a colour, more like a primer.
Isaac Blue is really cool and the signature colour, so that would be my choice if I was ordering now.
