Title: Poll: Graphite Blue
Post by: aledbeswick on March 16, 2012, 04:39:21 pm: How many people have graphite blue VW's?
Other than mine, I am yet to see another GTi in this colour - I think it looks nicer than the shadow blue which is really popular!

I will post pics when I give her a wash, did a full detail last weekend and forgot to take pics :(

You should have clicked on Post New Poll at the top right of the page next to New Topic and posted from in there. Not sure if you can retrospectively make a poll in this thread without the help of a mod.

Post by: aledbeswick on March 17, 2012, 09:12:20 am: Mine is an 07, so not that early. It is defiantly one or the rarest colours then.

Here's mine (57 plate). I've seen a few GTi's and a Pirelli in this colour but there doesn't seem to be that many about. :happy2:

Post by: reflex11 on March 17, 2012, 03:27:36 pm: to be honest I don't think the colour suits england very much.. it's a very nice colour but in england its 90% rain and when it rains it makes the colour look depressing

We'll have to agree to disagree!

+1!

Looks pretty dreary to me, but we all have different tastes. One man's model is another man's munter!

Post by: aledbeswick on March 18, 2012, 10:30:15 pm: Wow, really seems to be a love it or hate it colour. It defiantly looks better in the flesh.
Title: Re: Poll: Graphite Blue
Post by: Snoopy on March 19, 2012, 09:57:02 pm: Maybe its .just this.forum. but back in the day 05 to 08 graphite blue was the.most popular blue by a long way when the cars were new on a couple of mk5 forums red robin and.myself were on.

Post by: GTsport on March 19, 2012, 10:19:14 pm: I had a Graphite Blue 05 gt

Lovely colour but it didn't really suit my car. Looks so much better on a gti or the facelift gtsport

Post by: ShaunP on March 22, 2012, 01:25:16 am: Graphite blue looks great in these photos, but of the few I've seen in the metal at VW dealers they all look grey to me. Did the ED30 come in graphite?
Title: Re: Poll: Graphite Blue
Post by: BeezerDiesel on March 22, 2012, 05:03:40 am: The first mk5 GTI I ever saw in the flesh was in Graphite Blue, it looked fabulous in the showroom. My personal favourite is Laser Blue.
I think you can or at least could order a mk6 GTI in Graphite Blue too, seen a few on the forums but never in the flesh.

No it didn't but the colour was available for the Pirelli version.
