i was struggling between black and blue graphite, my last Golf Anni 180bhp was black and looked beautiful when polished but showed swirly scratches when looked at close up, I opted for the Blue Graphite and was totally chuffed with it when it arrived, it changes colour depending on the amount of sunlight on it and everyone comments on what a great colour it is - plus from what i have seen there arent many about, by the way I live in Cumbria too...........

Hello,
i'm also torn between black and blue graphite. I started on red but went off that when a saw one in the metal (they look great in magazine reviews). Then I decided on black, went to place my order and spotted a blue graphite Jetta in the showroom, this threw me into turmoil and I came away without ordering. I know black is a "classic" GTI colour and I wonder if the blue graphite will affect residuals. Also, if i go for black, does the metallic look £350 better than the solid and is there any difference in scratch resistance/wear/ageing?

If going for black, definitely choose the metallic/pearlescent.  It's got a thick coat of clear lacquer-resists scratches better and does not show them half as much as flat black.  All solid dark colours go very scratchy looking after a relatively short time.
