Grey for me, hands down. Black & red are so common. Hardly see any steel greys.

I like red but if i was going to get red it would have to be the ED30.

Out of the two I choose Grey.

But out of all the colours Shadow Blue (Dark Blue Metallic) is my overall favourite. Rare and stunning to look at when the sun sets on it, has a purple like tinge to it at certain angles.

Yeah that's true.  I see plenty of grey MK7s, but hardly any MK5s.  Was grey a cost option on the MK5 or something?

As far as Edition 30s go, grey or black for sure.  Red and white = meh.  Too many white cars around these days.

Black - you can get away with the colour coding (I can't stand the black skirts and rear valance but that's my personal opinion others may like it)

Grey with diamond cut monzas and colour coded bumpers and skirts looks the bees

Agreed, and plain black as well, not metallic.  Great for touch ups  :grin:   I've also put black vinyl on the sills and other impact areas as it just blends in like OEM on a black car.  Can't even notice it until you get close  :happy2:
