Black looks stunning when polished up, but I feel its a nightmare to keep clean. Shows up dirt etc very easily.

Personally I would go with Silver or Grey. Dont show any minor marks up very easily, and look cleaner for longer!

ye thats what i was thinking, dont mind cleaning it though, thing is grey ones dont really seem to be about and would need to pay alot more to get a decent one, is it really worth spending the extra?

I have a diamond pearl black edition 30. Looks stunning when clean but as above, complete nightmare to keep clean.

Personally think steel grey looks better than silver but ETTO.

Have a look at the colours thread. There are pics and pics of different coloures GTIs. Go for the colour that makes the heart skip a beat. Mine still does when I look at my GTI from front on.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Well ive owned a Steel Grey Golf and ive now got a Black one in my opinion the steel grey looked wicked and when cleaned and waxed it looked fantastic but imo the black just looks meaner plus its the fastest colour :evilgrin:

My Grey one
 



My Black one



If i had the choice again though id go Steel Grey :happy2:
