I actually like that front end :whistle: I bet it looks even better with the DRLs lit up.

I just hope so so so much that VW gives us a better GTI colour selection. Even a exclusive GTI colour would suffice, maybe that Pure Grey? (Sorry TCR owners)

I think once you have swapped the generic front bumper for an aggressive sports one it will make a difference.

I mean, look at a Mk7.5 basic Golf... it too looks a bit meh

I think that looks very smart.  Although, I suspect that angle disguises the droopy nose and slitty headlights.  White suits that design.

Is it my imagination, or is the glasshouse deeper than the mk7/7.5?  Looks to be an airy cabin with excellent outward visibility.

Maybe, but if you look at some of the other photos of the real thing it doesn't look too different...

I'd agree with that, there should definitely be an exclusive GTI/D/E colour. They have for the R so maybe thats the reason not, keep it for the top model only.

It is a shame the range of colours here is so limited. In Germany, there are so many to choose from although at great cost but at least they have some choice.

Its been frustrating with the Mk7 on the colour front. Although I am sure back in 2014 there were more colours than you find on the configurator today.

Mind you, having looked at the M135i, that only has 6 to choose from - white, red, blue and then 3 different greys.

Its a bit daft really - factory orders using just in time production and self cleaning paint sprays mean there is little reason not to offer a wider range.

Carbon Grey was the unique colour for Mk6 and mk7 GTI/D until the 2017 facelift.

I agree Fred. Looking at some of the configurators for other brands - it's black, white, red, blue, grey. If they were using it to drive you to getting a special order colour which cost more, I could understand the logic of such restriction.

The German configurator has around 25 colours if I recall. Just to rub salt in.
