I finally decieded on shadow blue having been considering both rising blue and black prior to that. Personally felt rising blue was too bright and black to 'come and key my car please' (lots of school kids in my area walking past every day). Thought shadow would be a nice compromise, could not find any pictures around but I think other VWs are availible in the colour so you might get a chance to see it on another car??
Mine won't arrive till december and if no decent pics up by then I will be sure to post for everyone!

I think that is Rising Blue in a different light.

Yeah could well be.
That's a CGI pic from the German VW site if you go into the cube flash site and choose 'experience'.
How about this one

Its the exact same boring dark blue shade used on most other Vw ranges, certainly used on the Polo and Golf.

OK i will tel you my personal opinion about colours.
Black and silver are safe options.Not very good,not very bad.Especialy the black one i think it hide's the very nice front side.
Every time that i see grey colour i wonder why they didn't dye that car yet?
IMO the rising blue is the best colour for that particular car,BUT i predict that in a while the rising blue Scirocco owners will recognize their cars in parking spaces looking at the licence plates.
Fashion require's white,but no thanks i'll pass.
So i am between shadow blue and red.
Have you considered the red one?

Haven t considered red as im not a big fan plus its wrote into our contract at work that we cant have red as a company car because our gaffer is a leeds fan and hates man u, stupid but true.

Def looks too dark to be rising blue..
First time I have seen a true Shadow blue I think - very pleased I ordered that colour

Looks fantastic clean, but contrasts with the local mud too much , like the black
