Colour guide
Solid - Urano grey
Free
Urano Grey has the advantage of being free of charge, but that’s about where it ends — it’s one of the dullest and flattest colours ever to adorn a car and the Gold 8’s droopy nose styling makes it look even worse. If you want your Golf to look good, you’ll have to spend.
Special solid - Moonstone grey
£435
Moonstone Grey is technically a solid but it has a very glossy finish that could almost fool you into thinking it’s one of those special metallic, semi-matte colours. It can look very plain unless you dress it up with some decent wheels and an R-Line bodykit, though.

Special solid - Pure white
£435
VW seems to be a bit cheeky, charging extra for what is such a plain, solid colour option as this. It doesn’t do much to lift the Golf’s styling and there’s the unmistakeable whiff of holiday hire car about it.
Metallic - Atlantic blue
£730
Atlantic Blue is a decent colour for the Golf, not least because it seems to give you about 90 per cent of the effect that the more exclusive, Golf R-only, Lapiz Blue gives you. Again, accessorise it carefully, but this is a handsome shade
Metallic - Dolphin grey
£730
Dolphin Grey, in spite of being actually a metallic shade, just ends up looking like a duller, less interesting version of Moonstone Grey. Save yourself a couple of hundred pounds and get the cheaper, nicer paint.
Metallic - Grenadilla black
£730
Metallic - Lime yellow
£730
Well, if nothing else Lime Yellow certainly makes a statement. It may not be the easiest colour to re-sell, and it definitely needs a sunny day to look at its best, but it does help lift the too-quiet styling of the Golf 8, so that’s a good thing. A brave choice.
Metallic - Reflex silver
£730
The Golf is a German car, so it should look good in silver, right? Well yes — Reflex Silver is a decent shade, but it’s a colour that lacks warmth so on dull days it just sucks the life out of the Golf’s shape. Mark it down as ‘could do better.’
Premium metallic - Kings red
£885
Kings Red is a terrific colour, and one that works especially well on the sporty GTE, GTD, and GTI models. The only problem is the price — VW has a cheek charging this much extra for what is basically a nice metallic red.
Premium pearl - Oryx white
£1,220
Another shade that really needs the contrasting highlights and handsome bodykit of the GT models to work properly, but Oryx White’s real problems are that it’s not enough of a lift from plain Pure White, and it’s staggeringly expensive.
