chriswastle Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I am looking to order a new GTI later this year, really struggling on colour choice this time around ! i do not really want to go for the white again as nice as it is i really fancy a change. The narrowed down choices are Pearl black, solid black ( what does it really look like in the flesh) and shadow blue. Does anybody on here own any of these colours? would they make the same choice again ? any pics and comments would be appreciated ps what sort of discount have people been getting, i have been offered 4.5%, i was really looking to acheive 6% and order before the end of december to avoid the vat rise?

Matt R Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Do not order solid black, you will deffo regret that! I don't think you will get more than 5% off a factory order for this year before Vat rise. I may be able to help, send me a PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) Heres some shadow blue photos i posted a while back. Anyone got Shadow Blue with their Mk 6 GTI? Heres some photos of my shadow blue mk6 GTI. Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures below. A couple of photos of my mk6. Its not a common colour on the mk6 GTI and a total barstuard to try and show what it really looks like in a photo. That american one i posted (first link, 2nd page.) is the best representation of it imo. would they make the same choice again ? Yes white/black/red is so common and the choice everyone else has, i wanted to be slightly different and love the colour.

chriswastle Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 some great pics there snoopy, alas i think i need to see one in the flesh before i can decide. and as you say it is quite a rare colour, suprising really considering there is quite a few mk5s in shadow blue. i am suprised however at the limited choice of wheels, i do like the monza 2s but again fancy a different look.... the wheels on the adidas special look good.

Snoopy Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I know what you meen, They restricted the choice with the mk5 like that too. There are a few options in the VW acc catalogue but thats a dealer fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Why are you in a rush to order today, rather than wait for the 7% deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswastle Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 i did the deal today managed to squeeze the deal to 8%, i was given some story about the computer system changing ( dos to windows ?) and wouldnt be able to order until the end of the month after today due to the change over. i wasnt too worried about any pressure to sign today as the 8% discount off the OTR price is an exceptional deal........... just a 12 to 16 week wait now !

Mook Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I love a bit of salesman's bullsh*t Sounds like a great deal though to get 8% off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
