Favourite Tig colour is?

[Johnno]

I might give Five Dock a try tomorrow afternoon then before I head down the car broker route again.

So how did you go with Fivedock - or are you going with the car broker? I would be interested to know how effective the brokers are at negotiating a price on the Tig.

We bought the cherry red tiguan and are very happy with it. We reviously owned a black car and would never own one again. They are very hard to keep clean especially when you have children

Unfortunatly I went for the black which I felt was the best compromise out of a limited set of colors which when clean and polished comes up a treat, whites always safe but the last four cars I have owned have been white tim for a change. My first choice would have been the silver leaf but that wouldn't have gone as well with the lighter cornsilk leather like the black, its a shame the Gunmetal grey/green that's on the SEMA Show R-Line isn't available down here, overall the colors are abit flat and uninspiring with the meatalics lacking depth compared to some other VW models and the competition but the cherry red and laguna blue do stand out but are not for everybody including myself.

Anybody know if there are new colors(aus spelling) anounced for 2010 and what abou color coded bumpers which you think should be standard at least on the 147, found the color coded R-Line is available in Italy but couldnt see it on any other O.S. VW sites.

Typically, they drop one of the "Hero" or "trend" colours and replace it with another.Maybe blue and red will be replaced.

Difficult to paint the lower edges of the bumper, as the plastic is grained. They'd have to run 2 complete lines, a ungrained finish for painting, and a grained for bare. Or paint every base bumper grey (as they did with the Ford Territory). Also, they pick up quite some savings as the rear park sensors can be unpainted.

That's my point the grained plastic is the only gripe I have on the styling, makes the car look cheap in some instances, considering some cheaper rivals have the color coding standard even on the subi forester and not to mention the upper maarket Audi Q5 being built on the same platform which IMO looks all that much more stylish for it but out of my price range.

Interesting...my wife has a Golf GTI in white - looks great but the rear collects dirt and always looks grubby. We have ordered a silver leaf 125 with the standard dark cloth interior - that combo works for us.

Black always looks good when it's clean, but hard to keep it that way. I have settled on a mountain grey 103TDI auto, pick it up on Friday 03/07 only test drove it 2 days ago. Only diesel left without having to wait 4 months. Didn't like the other colours much anyway.

Mountain Grey is a beutiful colour. It suits the Tig to a "T". When I am ready its a 147TSI fully optioned Mountain Grey for me.

I'm with you Dude. Go "Mountain Grey" also don't clash with my Queensland State of Origin Maroon Shirt. Both are winners

I only picked mine 103TDI up 3 weeks ago but in an manual, still can't talk the wife into swapping for my 100 series Cruiser. It is the best vehicle I have driven when I am allowed.
