I think silver really suits the shape. Shame they dropped it for the 7.5 as was going to be my choice.

Yeah, reflex silver was going to be my choice too. Now it's White Silver.
Picked up 03/Nov/2017 - GTi-P, White silver, 5dr., Manual with extras

Now you are making me Jealous 😉
I definitely think silver would have been more popular if they kept it for the 7.5 after seeing nice cars like that for the 7.

Fantastic looking car.
Makes all this talk of the 7.5 variant being the pinnacle of GTI perfection quite laughable.

Loving the Silver.
Properly reminds me of the MK1

The CS looks great in silver.

I would say that as my old Campaign BRM (2.0L) was the inspiration for me buying a 3door PP in Tungsten silver.




Perhaps it needs the lower stripes?  :smiley:



Is your old BRM Campaign still alive?
Those old GTI Engineering and Brian Ricketts 2.0 engines were amazing. I'd absolutely love a go in one now just to see how they feel next to how the GTI has evolved.

My old mk1 had an early TSR engine which wasn't as well engineered probably as a BRM conversion but was cheaper and only 40 mins up the road from me.
Like yourself I've reverted back to the same colour as my mk1. Mine was Alpine White.

You could get some ClubSport style side graphics made up minus the writing to give your mk7 the mk1 look!  :smiley:

Yes A52HLC is till on the road thankfully, no doubt now worth a fortune.

The 2.0 was a BRM152 which gave close to 170bhp, the conversion including upgraded barkes cost over £8k, which was a lot of £££ at the time, on a rolling road the car weighed 864kg with fuel, some tools & shopping in the boot!

Despite owning cars with higher Bhp at the time, I sold it as it was like a crazed terrier, every time you took it out you arrive home realising you had driven like a lunatic.
It truly was a wolf in sheepy clothing with many scalps due to the power, gearing and light weight.

Definitely a car I wish I had kept, but then I still have a couple of cars I owned at the same time.



I have a couple of rolls of black electrical tape at home, I may have a play on the mk7 later!  :undecided:

With or without stripes they are both immaculate looking cars.

Gorgeous Mk1 GTI!  Always wanted a mk1 GTI and diamond silver was  my fave colour.

My journey to the CS GTI was  : mk1 golf CL , mk3 golf GL (100bhp), mk5 Golf GT TDI (140)  to finally GTI Ed40

Kept the mk1 though its 60bhp is very  different  to the CS
