I've given a lot of thought to colour, as I've never really had the choice before, and this was my thinking: My old Corrado was dark blue and looked great but the choice of blue for the Scirocco is either Rising (Suzi says it looks cheap) or Night (too dark). Black is out - as its just a bit too much. Viper green? Not for me. Black Oak brown? tempting but can't see one in the flesh yet and in pictures its a bit too chocolaty. There is also a grey, which makes the Scirocco look like an Audi. In a bad way.
Candy white -Ummm no. I know white is really popular at the moment but I just don't like it - to me it still looks like the no-cost option it is. And that goes for Salsa red too. Red would normally be my default choice for a car, but not fire-engine red. Unless its Italian.
And that led me to the old rule - if unsure of what colour to go for, stick with the National Racing Colour. In this case Silver for Germany. There is a choice of two Silvers for the Scirocco but apparently Silver Leaf would be better decribed as Champagne. So choice finally made - Relex Silver.
Hopefully this blog will one day be full of lovely pictures of my car, for now I'll just say that it should look a bit like this:
