Reflex silver is back, at least it was in the Sept Irish spec sheet for the performance golfs. It had a TBC next to the colour listed along side the other colours.

I think the colour is fine.

You have to remember 99% of UK new car buyers are sheep and can't see beyond black, white, grey/silver or if they are a bit of a rebel, red.

Which is why VW UK only offer those colours pretty much, because the others available in Germany wouldn't sell.

Although I don't understand that, because offering a colour doesn't actually cost anything other than another one of those plastic paint sample squares for the dealership wall!

Haha, so I'm a rebel?  :grin:

TBH, I wanted a bright colour. Black/White/Silver/Grey don't really do it for me, so it had to be Tornado Red on this one.

Also, this is why VW's offer of free purple paint is such an obvious money play... people absolutely won't want purple and will pay good money to avoid it. Hell, even I paid money to avoid it!

Does anyone on here have/ordered a purple Golf?

@Coco ...your  :evil: !!! ....seen red a few times and I must say it looks wicked , must be kept clean thought as like most I guess it tends to die a little when its dirty ...

@Fred...Ive seen a few purples ....funnily enough doesnt look all that bad...in fact the dirtier Ive see some the better they look  :undecided:
end of the day when your getting something as special as a GTI in my case my first 1 you dont want it to look like the rest ...as you said  baaaaaaaaaaaa  :cool:

My last GTD I went with Limestone... which was a mistake for sure. Its metallic beige really. Hated it pretty much for 3 years.

I have white now, because I really wanted something different but not black/grey... its difficult and I wish VW UK would get a grip and grow a pair.

That's absolutely flown through, you lucky bugger! Confused at the build week, did you typo 44?

I ordered my GTD on the 3rd October and it's currently sat at Emden!
