You really need to decide yourself, the people who have bought white will say white and those who bought blue will say blue etc etc..... , as you know i chose Silver which was quite brave but it really suits the R with the gloss black bits and the overall shape, candy white was considered but some of the shape and angles get lost in the whiteness for me, like a big marshmallow LOL, blue is nice but the majority of Scirocco's on the road are blue or white, i am not knocking the other colours they are all good.

Yeah, looking smart Shaun and I've only seen 1 Reflex R in the flesh - I also agree that most people will choose their own - My personal opinion is that white is becoming a little dated now and dare I say a little chavvy! I love Deep Black but have had 2 black cars previously.

I also think the difference between a standard Roc and an R is highlighted better in RB or Reflex.

I think in the last couple of years white has certainly become a 'fashion colour' but it's still very current.

Hold your horses! I don't have anything against CW and there is no question that a CW R is an orgasmic looking beast!! My thoughts are solely on the basis that white has become a fashionable colour over previous years and my personal opinion is that it wont be en vouge in 3 years time simply becuase there are two many white cars on the road diluting its appeal - I mean but when you get reps crusing around in white insignias, A4s and even skoda estates (not too mention the 4 CWs I saw on the A1 in Herts yesterday) then it slowly loses it cool appeal.
