Its definitely Sumatra. Collected mine 2 Weeks ago and from a distance on a dull day it looks almost Black, but in the sunlight its got a coppery look. Fantastic Colour , getting nothing but Compliments. :yes:

Not sure which colour it is, but I like those German market wheels... strong and simple, that's how I like my wheels, the Interlagos are OK, I can live with them, but they're a tad too fussy for me.

I agree the wheels look very good. Sumatra is the colour I will choose. I test drove a 2.0 TSI DSG and was my first drive in an auto. Let's say it was interesting and took a while to get used to!
I defo will be choosing DSG.

As someone who works in the graphics industry, I would say never judge a car by the colours you can see in print or worse still on a computer screen - digital cameras vary wildly and even images from the top notch professional cameras need a lot of work to get the colours right before going into print.

Anything you view on a computer screen can vary wildly due to the quality, type and adjustments of the screen - to get an accurate representation of the colours of the image you need a temperature controlled fully calibrated screen and even then you need to know that someone hasn't tweaked the image - e.g. 60 seconds work produced the variations you see below on my own Viper Green car...

... the only way to be sure what your car will look like is to see one in the metal.

I agree with that ... I had seen the Viper Green colour on several photos - but none of these properly prepared me for exactly how vivid the colour is 'in the metal'!
