pure white any given day... don't know about the UK but any shade or form of black down here means glossy for a day, dusty until the next wash...

Maybe we could have a poll for least favourite colour and see what happens  :evil:

Can't beat Oryx.... Not sure it should be so much more than the other shades though

But that's what makes it so exclusive!

Seem to recall there’s an extra stage in the painting process with Oryx White so VW would say the extra stage is justification for the increased cost.

After the body shell has received its primer coat, Oryx White is created by applying a pearlescent coat to a Pure White base colour coat, followed by a clear coat. For all other colours (solid, metallic or pearlescent) after primer, the painting process is base colour coat then clear coat.

Still on paint colour, saw a Ruby Black GTI today. IMO it’s really not a nice colour :sick:.

As much as I do prefer the Oryx White, i'm really not convinced it's worth a grand more than Pure White.

My mate had a oryx white gti which he bought solely on my testdrive as it was at a dealers near me. I didn’t even know it was oryx until the sun came out a few months later as it was sat on his drive! Looked great then.

Red, white or black, all look nice.

I wanted one in red simply because I have a thing for red cars but ended up getting one in black. Beggers can't be choosers when buying used.
