Here you go. It tends to look close to steel grey in the shade, and a really bright sparkly blue/grey in the sunshine. Also compliments the red trim very well IMO.

those pics were taken a while ago... probably due to the angle of the camera or maybe the incline of the driveway!

JoeGTI, the more i look at ur pics, the more im loving the colour... one more thing tho, and i hope im not annoying u or anything, but can i have a picture of the front, as in exactly front and not in any angles... i wana see how it looks like with the red strip... that picture could be the deciding factor of my colour problem... thanks!

No problem! As I said, I think it compliments the red details nicely.

ok, some steel, grey is a good allrounder colour, doesnt look dirty too easily, and its metalic and means will age better the plain colours, ie white and red.

NO colour can beat BLACK in summer!
During summer black looks great during the day and even better during the evening!
Wax it during the summer months and you got yourself an head-turner wherever you go or leave it.
Also the contrast between the Monza II's and black is beautiful!

Guys, thanks for the response... Its been really helpful... I really like all the colours, but have decided to go for the United Grey... Once again, thank you! Now just need to place the order and play the waiting game... Will post a picture once received...

EDIT: HOLD UP! just got back from the VW dealership... Order has been placed and Graphite Blue it is! He showed me both colours (United Grey and Graphite Blue) and honestly, I instantly knew which one I wanted... Grey was nice, had a racing feel to it like the white and the black does, but the blue just looks classy... I mean, ur not gona see any other car in that colour! Its unique to VW...
