I had dark grey on my R but I want to keep the CS as OEM looking as possible do to its comparative rarity.
Otherwise a set of SRs or Borbet FF1's were top of my list had a decently priced set of Prets not come up for sale. The SR's or FF1's would have filled the arches better  :undecided:

I know where you're coming from and the CS does have lots of black detailing already so keeping the wheels black to match would really work - just be a bugger to keep clean.

Either oem silver or satin black.  Loads of gloss black Prets around now and they look truly awful covered in brake dust. Satin black is more classy and more individual.

Clubsports in Red, White or Silver just look absolutely amazing

Satin or anthracite on the prets, the silver is a bit meh on the UK CS-Speculator

That Red Clubsport looks amazing. So much so I got straight on autotrader to see what they had Clubsport wise.

Wish I had ordered one in red or silver now. Making me think about a red R though now 🤔 A performance golf in Red always seems to look good.
On Order - Mk 8.5 Clubsport Pure White, Queenstown, DCC.
MK 7.5 R Pure White, Pretoria Silver, DCC, Rear Camera.
Gone - MK 7 GTI Carbon Grey, Rear Camera, Service Pack.
Gone - MK 6 GTI  Reflex Silver, Monza Shadows, RCD 510, Rear Camera, Bluetooth, Tyre Pressure Sensor, Xenons Convenience pack, Service Pack :)
Gone - MK 5 GTI Reflex Silver, Monza II 18's, Luxury Pack, Mulitchanger

That's a good shout, some owners fondly give their cars names, I wonder if anyone will call their CS "Phil" on the back of that? :)
