Ever since I put my order in I've been scouring YouTube for videos of Red CS's (as this is what I've ordered) I think this is my favourite so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLB5xwtVDl0

I'm the least "red-car" person out there (unless very very few specific exceptions, a Golf not being amongst them) but that video almost made me question my color choice of carbon steel grey... (although too late for that!).

At last a video that does the Clubsport's muscular lines/overall look some good, what a lovely looking car

I hear what you're saying, I've had a few whites, two blacks a gun metal grey but never red, when I first looked at it in the showroom it just looked right. And yes the videography just makes it look better.

That interior and in particular the steering wheel was what sold me, looks and feels awesome in the hands.

Still not as good as it looks in the flesh though, isn't it?

The red looks better in the flesh and is the hero colour for a GTI.

Paint quality is so good these days that fading isn't a problem as long as you give it a moderate amount of care. Even then I wouldn't expect see any discernible issues for 10+ years and the reality is that it will be someone else problem by then anyway.

I'm keen to see a red one now!

Isn't the hero colour all 3?

[Billecartz]

Typically there is only one hear colour, my MK4 R32 was the deep blue pearl and in a GTI it is red as it pays homage to the original GTI MK1 which was red.

Someone's got a new video up. Looks wicked with those wheels, I reckon a black set against the red paint would be off tap.

I am not so fond of these wheels on a white CS with all those black details and the black front badge, looks too aftermarket, in not a nice way for my like...

Regardless, those Michelin decals are purely horrible. I'd take a stock car/look any day over that specific car in the vid.

That person is on these forums and in this thread I believe.... I agree too, I think it's ruined the car. Each to their own
