What colour do you think is best for a new Golf MkVI - plain black or candy white? Bear in mind that the bumpers are not plastic black - but body coloured. Do you think it makes a difference on how sporty the model is? I have a Diesel 105PS 5 door on the way...What about resale value as well as ownership - keeping white looking clean is easier!
Hope the consensus is what I have ordered - not too late to change though!!

Candy white - the nice smooth lines can take this revealing 'colour' nicely. It's also much more cheerful than black!

If I wasn't going to shell out for metallic, I'd go for Tornado Red personally. It's a popular colour for GTIs... someone might mistake it for one from a distance :-)

Black if you like looking like a hearse and white if you fancy being a white-van man.
Black is a dangerous colour to have in our latitudes where there is gloom and filthy weather for such a large proportion of the year.
White on the new Golf looks particularly naff, as the new car has a rather bland design with nothing to break up all that 'whiteness'.
Needless to say, I'm having Reflex Silver yet again. Never really looks dirty and has good visibility.

I have pearl black. Looks really nice against the alloys. I think white suites bigger cars like the Audi A4 upwards, or Beemer 5 series. I saw a white golf today, and I was not too keen. But hey, personal choice mate, stuff everyone else eh?

Audi A3 and the VW Scirocco look good in white.

Pearl Black
VW group metalic/peralescent black paint is great, hides dirt well for a black car, shines after a simple wash and leather, it looks the biz, shrugs off bird poo and is pretty chip resistant.
Dangerous? I have been shunted into in green cars, white cars red cars and silver cars. never a black car.

As someone said above if I was having a solid colour it would be Tornado Red.
Second choice would be white.
I went for metallic - Georgia Blue

Pearl Black
But he's asking about solid black. Which is why white might be better. Had a pearl black Golf in 1999 and I liked the colour for the six months it existed - stolen.
|
Some cars do look good in white, but I don't think the golf is one of them.
Yes, the Scirocco looks good in white - can't you change the car instead :)
|

Sounds like I should be either getting a black one or changing to a Scirocco! A lot of ads show the golf in white and it looks ok - black is rather common.....not meaning to upset anyone!

There's no accounting for taste_One mans meat is another mans poison_Each to his/her own ... Whatever turns *you* on, and besides - white is the new black?
