Default Color Advise

I'm about to purchase an '03 1.8T, with premium package & 17" alloys. I've two color choices - dolphin grey or silver - both with black leather interior.

Which color should I go for? Which will hold out better in the long run?

Personally, I'd get the Denim if I could do over. But between your two choices, I'd go for whatever you think looks best. All I've seen near me are the Amulet and the Silver. Maybe go for the Dolphin, probably not as common.

Silver is the most popular color in this segment, Dolphin is a gray flannel suit (very classy)

Silver if you want few noticable scratches.

Default From a safety perspective, you want the best contrasting color with road surroundings.

Of these two choices, it would seem to me that silver would be more easily seen at a glance by others in an emergency situation.

consider the platinum interior, it goes well with both those colours. It is especially good with Ming or Denim too.

Default Re: IMO Dolphin is kind of Dull (just like a gray suit).

Denim is much more sporty.

Dolphin matches the lowers better than the other colours.
