IMO, its one of those colours that looks great in bright light (I really like it in blaqsheep’s pictures at post #3 in this discussion thread) but in dull lighting conditions, it looks as if VW forgot to paint it and just left it in it’s primer coat.
it should hide the dirt reasonably well though, and won’t show swirl marks like a dark colour would either.
I feel like my car changes colour according to the weather.(or when it's parked beside different cars)
On sunny days, it's just regular gray-ish colour
It looks blue under the rain
It looks silver when parking beside a white car
It looks white when parking beside a silver car
This colour is just hard the explain, but so far I really like the metallic texture. (Well I know the maintenance cost will be higher with this)
Thanks to the dealership that has no white colour in stock, white silver is a great colour.
