if it was my money I would have the steel grey I think.

black looks great so does silver and of course white but I think the grey just edges it

In exactly the same situation as you matey, came to the following:

Red -  Seen in the flesh - A little to tacky IMO
White - Driven and seen in the flesh - Surprised, different quiet liked it, just dont have the balls to get it
Silver - Havent seen, tho personnally dont like silver on the GTi (no offense to silver owners)
Grey - Nice, easy to clean, havent seen a ed30 in the flesh, though maybe slighty boring?
Black - Seen in the flesh, great when clean which is hard work to do.

I got it down to grey and black, finally I think ive tipped to the dark side and goin for black.

with regards to black and steel grey, exactly my sentiments...

This is the 1st time I've actually seen a proper picture of a 3rd Steel Grey car!!  I'm glad I chose it now - looks great.
Nice one Alan  :grin:

Actually... Alan - do you have any more pics of this car? 
Like I say, I've ordered a 3dr Steel Grey one, and never actually seen a decent pic of it till now.  I wouldnt mind seeing what the front / back look like too!

Hopefully it will settle after some mileage, cause it looks a bit high in those pics.  I'll maybe try and get 5 people in the car a few times to help 'loosen' it off!

Or maybe this. Sorry I can't do better at the moment - I went over to a VW dealer in Stoke to take a look at the Steel Grey Edition 30 earlier in the year. Took delivery of mine two weeks ago, and haven't got around to taking any pictures yet.

Thanks for that... if you could post some real life pics when you get a chance I'd be very grateful though!

I'd also quite like to see what the tints look like on a grey car.  I ordered them, but I'm scared the car looks like a van or something!  I am currently driving my girlfriends brothers old car - an 04 Fiesta Ghia - and it has rear tints.  The car is black and looks good... I find them great in the dark cause they save bright lights in your mirror!

OK - a few quick snaps taken today after washing! Tomorrow is Autoglym Day (weather permitting).
