Hi, I have gone for the Kings Red (hopefully here in March). Choosing the spec is fairly straight forward, choosing the colour is tougher, i was going backwards and forwards between Silver, White and the Kings Red. They all look good but I really do like the Kings Red! Just hope it looks as good in the flesh!

Finally found a Dolphin Grey on 18’s. I love the 19’s but couldn’t throw the extra money at my lockdown drive ornament.

Hard to see from photos alone, but does not seem too dissimilar to my Pure Grey, which absolutely love, Black and Reds are colours that really blend well with it,

Lee, is the Dolphin grey darker or lighter than the pure grey?

It's a fair bit lighter than pure grey. If you look at Volkswizard's recent YouTube review, you'll see it very clearly as he has the new car parked next to his TCR.

Moonstone Grey on the Mk8 in the Volkswizard video is lighter than Pure Grey. Dolphin Grey is metallic and similar to Carbon Grey from the Mk7, albeit maybe not quite as dark.

Ordered Deep Black for a couple of reasons. (1) It looks good, (2) Needed a change from Red, (3) Couldn't justify paying for red when it was 'free' on the MK 7. Also added 19" Estorils (had to)!
