When I decided to buy another MKIV; I had already decided that it had to be black. The car that I bought was actually advertised as Diamond Black even though I could tell it was gloss black(2 salesman swore blind it was metallic..). This got me thinking; every black Golf that I'd seen was metallic and (sadly) I now look closely when I see another black car; there seems to be hardly any other gloss black cars..so has anyonelse on here got one?

Got a black (non metallic) A3 now though [] I was gutted you couldn't get a non pearl black r32.

ive got a non matalic black golf and my mate has a matalic A3T and i think mine looks a lot deeper and shines much more. when cleaned of course[B)]

Had diamond black Golf followed by Solid black Bora. If you are into cleaning your cars, the solid one gives a much deeper wetter shine.

IIRC this one, Gary Handa's monster is solid black []

Solid black is pure lush for cleaning!!! []

You should have waxed yours more Jon!

- I am going to order a Mk5 GTI in the same colour and save money too, BONUS!

Mine was gloss black too - it was the best finish I have ever had on a car and looked superb clean. Traded it in at Bradford VW two weeks ago and they have it down on their stock list as metallic!

 

[aberdeengti]

Gloss black here too! I quite like it, looks lovely and deep when clean.. []

 

[sputnik]

Yes, gloss black here too! echo all the comments above.

 

[Essex Escy]

all depends how you clean your car as to the shine......mine SHINES when cleaned......and its metallic black
