If that list is for real I'd be parking the car outside their door and telling them to keep it. It'll never be right and the dealer monkeys will make things worse before anything gets better. A serious ballache awaits.

Quite bizarre though because I've never heard of a MK7 with such an array of issues.

Well they seem to think that I've got a lemon and have offered a new facelift as a replacement for mine.

That sounds like a good result!

Not if you love the sound and sport pack and night blue Joe.

Atlantic Blue is a lovely colour too.

I wonder is there going to be a sound and sport pack at this stage.

I'm wondering if it can be retrofitted, as they say 'how hard can it be'?

Help...Im also in the colour conundrum...I know youve all heard it before :rolleyes:

I have ordered Isaac blue but after doing all kinds of searches and also comparing to the old mk6 graphite blue I am beginning to second guess...this photo of a mk6 graphite blue R has really put me off! BORING and UNINSPIRING!

After all my research I have reached the conclusion that the lighter shades really do justice to the beautiful lines of the mk 7,5 gti.
So now I am seriously considering Indium grey ( thanks to Wides posts) and tungsten silver... I know silver is common, but theres something about the tungsten tint that for me just really sits beautifuly on the gti, add the red accents and I think it looks amazing.
Anyway...if you can be bothered I would appreciate your views. :smiley:

Graphite blue was a hard one to photograph well... but believe me, when the sun was out and the car was clean, it was unbeatable.

This is my favourite pic of my old MK5 (many years ago now). My favourite car...

... and yet you are looking at 2 shades of GREY  :huh: Since when is grey an exciting and inspiring colour  :huh:

You really need to see these colour in the flesh. DO NOT decide from photos.
