Thought Ruby red was ditched after 12 months or so, then there must have been a free colour which I thought was white?Red was free on Mk7 though?

Fortunately, Purple Nasty (a.k.a Black Rubin, although I prefer the name Purple Nasty :grin:) had a fairly short life. I think it was replaced by Pure White as the free colour on performance Golfs - PW was certainly the free colour on performance Golfs at the end of the mk7.5’s life.

Anyway, King's Red (aka old man red) is more than not free, it's the second most expensive colour.

I think silver and white are the 2 standout colours, certainly on the Clubsport.

Which is probably a reflection on the lack of imaginative colours available too tbh.

I can't believe they dropped TR. When I had mine I thought a metallic red would be great and was thinking KR was the answer but unfortunately it doesn't look vibrant enough. So at this stage RS looks best.

My only surprise was the Adelaide alloys. I thought they looked a bit odd.
