Think original Integra Type R...
but a black GTI is so sweet.... just too damn hot here in Houston and it tends to minimize the already small size of the car. Red is growing on me... that or I feel the need to dress up like an Indian bride at her wedding. CSG is for stealth operators/ anonymous.... United Gray will make you terminally depressed, but looks better on the mk6. Shadow blue insinuates the driver is either overweight or bought the car while off their meds. So my flends, white is either virginal...or commands presence.
hate me now.

oh.. that's why the mags tested a red GTI and it was slower than an MK5:lol:

looks like everyone likes their own color choice.

I actually picked tornado red (and wouldve picked blue too)
I own a CSG though. I think the CSG looks the best stock. However, because it seems to hard to 'color match,' I dont know if its the 'best.' Honestly though, any color on the GTI looks good :thumbsup:

Nope, I wanted black but there wasn't one with the equipment I wanted on the West Coast at my time of purchase so I'm stuck with Blue.

What up with you, just because you don't have them many?

ha... you know.... the only additional color that I'd have over here is the reflex silver. Damn, what a great color to show off the mk6 lines.... why VW why?
well, on a + note... at least I paid the equivalent of 15,000 UK pounds sterling for my 2010 (280 miles on it when bought). (18s, xenons, dynaudio/ bt) ... I'll take the limited color palette for an amazing deal on the car I wanted, in my favorite car color.

Reflex is the only colour I would ever consider having and this is my second Golf with that very colour. A very good colour for cars that are not garaged and that can't be cleaned every day, such as black or any other very deep and glossy colours.ha... you know.... the only additional color that I'd have over here is the reflex silver.

If he's down to DBP and CW... why not just go for the CW and a black roof wrap?

Oh wow, I never thought UG would be so low. I love the UG but I'm starting to take a liking to the CS.

While I'm pleased my photo of a Reflex Silver GTI made your forum, I would prefer it if my photo was linked to my flickr page where I uploaded it, rather than taken and used without my permission.
Here's some links to more pics I took of the Reflex Silver GTI at my local VW dealer. (btw I hope to get a Mk6 GTI as my next car and I am leaning towards Deep Black or Candy White!)

Yeah of the tiger: Candy White is where it is at.
That said, when I was presented with color options by the dealer, my order was: CSG, Black, Red, White, Blue, UG (let the girlfriend pick the colors, as she let me use her extra Jeep the month after my Honda died and I was shopping around.)
In the end, the first available 4door manual was white (which would have been one of my top choices.
In hindsight, this was the ideal outcome.
My main concern would be the glare from the hood on the CW, but as the hood is not visible from the front, this is a non-issue.
While black and carbon steel look better waxed, the white looks better the day after.
Red is straight sexy, but I prefer being a little discreet if I'm going over.
The week after I got home, I saw a blue and my jaw dropped. The photos online and in the brochures do the real-world color no justice.
