Post by: Frodo-anni on April 11, 2012, 12:09:27 am: Carbon Grey FTW :happy2:- sexy version of steel grey :love:

Every other car on the road is white, in a few years, they wont be attracting a premium come re-sale time, as there will be amply availability.

Post by: john87 on April 13, 2012, 12:39:35 pm: I've yet to see another white mk5 GTI in my area!

There's more scirocco's on the road than GTI's in central Scotland...

Post by: andrewparker on April 13, 2012, 12:48:44 pm: Sounds like the decision has been made, but my vote goes to carbon grey.

~~I was looking at a Scirocco in carbon grey with tan leather and it looked amazing. Great combination.~~

Lies! It was Indium Grey.

The word "overdone" comes to mind - imho ofc. The OP has asked for my opinion and I gave it, nothing more, nothing less.

Wont that be extra as it's metallic? White will probably be the rep mobile. :wink:

Candy White suits the Mk5 much much better, but Carbon Grey suits the Mk6 (GTD).

Having seen wigit's Carbon Grey it's many many different colours according to the light and it's very smart indeed.

Post by: Oli on April 15, 2012, 05:55:06 pm: Grey has been ordered, as it was my wife's choice ultimately. I like both the grey and white, and white certainly hasn't had its day, I don't think we'll ever see the back of white now, as it's been back since 2005. I've had a white 335d and a white s3 and loved them both.

Car is due to be with me sometime in June

My local VW dealer has got two GTD's in white I saw this morning - They look better than I thought they would but I still prefer the Carbon Grey.

The MK6 looks very distinguished in carbon grey, I don't think there's any doubting that.

Would be my choice even if I hadn't owned a Steel Grey MK5 GTI :smiley:

Post by: dmac1969 on April 22, 2012, 08:48:38 pm: I would have went for White , as I think high spec cars look great in White , but I must admit that pic of the Grey Mk6 looked damn nice !

Post by: ub7rm on April 22, 2012, 09:19:51 pm: Grey for sure, white is bit 'noughties' now.

Better yet, red :happy2:

Post by: nezquick on April 23, 2012, 05:00:42 pm: Id say the Carbon Grey, but then again the candy white does look nice especially with a r32 rear end
