metallic was an option tho ... (wasnt it pearlescent and not metallic?) ... anywayz, I aint seen many metallic mk3's ... SOlid black is nice if washed, polished/waxed often enough.

different documenation calls it different things..

mines pearlescent black or black magic depending where you look.

not sure if metallic black is different, i think it isn't but i'm not sure.


solid black is also called diamond black isnt it? or is that another name for pearlescent  ?
