Golf 6 118tsi candy white or reflex silver? beige or black leather?

[deejay350sl]

Gonna get a 118tsi can't decide what color to get. I like the candy white and also the reflex silver. I'm gonna get beige leather seats but don't know if it will look good. Just wanna hear some opinions. Black or beige leather? candy white or reflex silver?

We originally ordered a Candy White car, but the wait was too long. They had a Reflex Silver one available sooner so opted for this. I really do like the white but the Silver has grown on me more since we've bought it - the lighter shades of metallic paint really work nicely to show off the Golf's great panel lines in my opinion. Black leather would go best with either colour. Beige leather is better on darker colours.

I definitely go for the Candy White, it looks slick and big on the MK6 GTI that i've got, definitely also include that with leather seats.. looks awesome

Candy white is cheaper, being non-metallic, so that may help sway the decision. And definitely black leather with either of those two colours.

I have candy white and it looks great with the black. Mine has the black cloth sports seats... beige leather would look wishy washy unless it was contrasted against a black car.

I have the reflex silver with the black leather and like it very much. I saw JasonP's one with beige leather and was impressed with the contrasting between the leather seats and black interior. If I didn't have messy kids I would have like to get that but it wasn't available at time of purchase.

Personal choice,

[hoi polloi]

Colour is, I guess, a personal thing...

A white car reminds me of one of our work cars (not that we have VWs)...

The black leather I think would hide the inevitable marks better...

Yeah, Coastie's looks great in Reflex Silver with Black leather, however mine is Silver Leaf, with the Corn Silk Beige Leather, & I've never had anyone not think it looks great.

However! All children are banned from my car!

There's a shot of the same interior at this link:

When you specify the Beige Leather, the A pillars & headlining match, rather than just the standard white.

Having owned & lived with it for 7 months, I'd tick the same options again.

Hey JasonP would you be able to take a few pics of your car from the outside? I would like to see how the beige interior looks from the outside with the silver.

[JasonP]

deejay350sl, I only have a couple of photos, & they don't really show the interior too well.

PM me your email address, & I'll send you what I have.

I'll get some more photos soon.

I love a light Metallic,so would go for Reflex Silver,although I am biased,as my Jetta is in Reflex Silver.
And I would go for the dark leather,very smart combination.
But at the end of the day,it is your choice...

[coastie]

Both JasonP and my cars are in these shots, in real life there is a more discernible colour difference between the two silvers. The tinted windows don't allow much of an interior view. That being said I really like Jason's interior the contrasting colours really add to the looks. Mine is all black apart from the pillars and hood lining.

White AND silver are both too common - don't get either :p

id go white...although requires double the amount of waxing...more maintenance being non-metalic.

Really? I wasn't aware of that......
I actually like the white. It looks great with the contrast of the tinted windows.
