Isaac. Mean, moody, magnificent.

You seem to have wandered off in a Porridge tangent...

Tornado Red, easily the best :whistle:

I was set on Atlantic Blue and even got the dealer to sound out any in the VW network, but I slept on it and started to get interested in Isaac Blue.

It was a colour I had previously dismissed but reading in the forum here, it got a lot of positive vibes.

So I did switch last minute to Isaac Blue and my dealership had a car actually at their site. I love the colour but under typically UK cloudy skies it often looks grey rather than showing off the blue.

Admittedly I do love Atlantic Blue also,  but have no regrets with Isaac.

Having owned a Tornado RedGolf, I switched to Indium. Despite being careful with it, the Tornado Red chipped and swirled, alarmingly. While I love its appearance I think it is a ‘soft’ paint colour that marks very easily. .

Any paint needs looking after to look its best and TR looks amazing.
