    Picking a Colour

    I was sure I was going to be strong !! Icelandic Grey makes so much sense ... and my last 3 cars have been Black ... so impractical. So yes I ordered the sensible colour ... and then changed it to Deep Black 48 hours later !!!

    When the CC gets here with all the gear I'll be happy !!

    Assuming the injector failure is resolved !!

    Deep Black CC's look the SEX!
    Definitely worth the upgrade over icelandic grey.

    Black is good if you enjoy washing the thing every second day.

    My black Passat will be my first and last black car.

    I thought the gold would look crap when my old man got his. But I now prefer it to some other colours on the CCs now.
    (easy to keep clean too!!!)

    Mine is Silver Leaf and is so easy on the eye. Still looks clean when it's covered in road grime. Lots of people have remarked on how classy it looks.

    me too! Pearl black looks awesome for an hour after I wash it...the next day looks average and the day after even worse! First and last black car.

    IMO black looks the best . Agree with the maintenance though, so I bought this to help:

    You'd think it'll scratch the paintwork (esp microscratches on black), but if you do some research and use common sense (don't apply too much pressure) it's safe. It won't get rid of watermarks though.

    IMHO Reflex Silver and Silver Leaf (which changes colour from silver to a subtle but classy gold depending on light) are the best colours.

    Black looks great on many cars but IMHO the Passat CC is not one of them. I prefer the lighter colours as it shows off the car's detailing.

    Sorry, but I guess each to their own. Its a personal matter. However no matter the colour, the CC is an awesome car. Enjoy!
