That looks a bit cluttered although it could be the stripes :? The wheels still look tiny :( I really can't make my mind up on them :roll:

I'm thinking sport kit and nicer wheels and it would makea tidy day van, it does look a bit much for a working van and the basic spec one doesn't look as good or practical as the mk7?

Nice. Dark blue always looks great in the sun. What a pity Ford managed to make the 16" wheels look so tiny. I have been 'forced' to go for the Sport model just to get the bigger 18" rims... which still don't look that big.

I went for moon dust silver for 3 reasons.
It's easy to keep and it ages well and it's an easy resale.
I agree that the dark colours look great but over here in Ireland we just don't have the climate to keep dark colours looking there best.
Unfortunately !

Yes I was well p****d. I'd spent around 3 weeks negotiating with 3 different dealers. Making it absolutely clear from the outset that INK BLUE was the colour I needed!! None of them told me that it had been discontinued. I placed an order with my chosen dealer and paid £500 deposit. 2 days later I get a call from the dealership telling me I can not have INK BLUE as its been discontinued :!: :!: So would I like the new colour PERFORMANCE BLUE :?: :!: :!: No I would not its a hideous colour for my business, also nothing like Ink blue.
In the end I opted for the BLAZER BLUE with a couple of options worth around £200 thrown in...

Agreed, performance blue makes it look as if you're trying to look like a Escort RS/GT40 or something.

I wanted Ink Blue as well. It has been replaced with Deep Impact Blue. A bit to light for me and makes it look a pimped VW. I've now ordered mine in Midnight Sky just to give it that bit of colour. There is a few running around and its starting to grow on me, just hope by the time its delivered I'll like it...

Midnight Sky looks amazing in the sun, just don't scratch it, it's stupidly expensive paint.
