:cool:
It belongs to mrgolf. He'll now be able to put his Mk2 GTI into semi retirement I guess. Kudos for getting the, effectively, custom colour ... even though Candy White looks better!

Thanks for the pics, Liam.
I love the car!!! Looks awesome. Drives awesome... Gets a bit of attention, too!! Feels so nice to drive. To come: tint and colour coding. :thumbup:
As for explanation? A couple of years ago, VW marketing caught up with me at the Nationals, and asked if they could use my MkII for a photoshoot for their Volkswagen Magazine as part of the MkV launch.
So when it came time to order the new one, I contacted marketing again and asked if I could special order a colour. They allowed me to as a one off. I chose grey. :D

That's awesome!! That was the colour my wife and I really wanted when we placed the the order on ours - such a pity they're not bringing that down to Oz - available in the USA, so wondering why not here?? :?

Thanks guys. 4 days in and I am besotted with it. Better than I thought it would be. Amazing car.
Robin, havent noticed probs on launch yet.
The colour is also available in Europe. I think they also get Steel Grey.
^ heh, true. i also see a r32 in united grey..!
Oops, dunno WTF I keep referring to it as Urban Grey ... I've tried changing the thread title to United Grey ... mods, can you deal?
To follow up on the colour thing, seems a shame that Steve's car is now one of at least three United Grey 3dr GTIs. Another one is owned by one of the guys at Lennock and I spotted another one en route to Sydney on a transporter at Gundagai on Tuesday night while travelling back to Canberra from Adelaide.
