Our van was the Ocean model, so I expected a white roof, but the factory selected a black 'edition' roof. Im not bothered by it as it will have solar panels fitted shortly. But if you select a dark body colour you will struggle to keep cool in the vehicle in hot weather.
It's down to personal taste but I too like the chrome pack, especially with dual colour combos. Having tried a metalic black full fat SE, our last two have been Beaches. They have been Acapulco blue and Starlight Blue over Candy white respectively. The dual colour was crying out for a bit of bling but the chrome pack wasn't an option on the Beach so I ordered the genuine VW parts and retro fitted them myself. IMO the result is superb and well worth the expense and hassle.
Agree. Acapulco blue was nice but not around long. The Ravina blue available on the T6.1 Transporter is a really great colour too, full of energy, and would be ace on a Cali but sadly not available. No idea why.

If it’s any consolation I’m finding Fortana Red pretty hard to keep clean. Ascot grey with Sports pack for the win I think.
I find it doesn't shoe the dirt.
Very nice colour scheme indeed!! With matching hoodie as well
If I still can order one (or find the finanical options), This would be exactly what I want.
We loved the green colour (Bayleaf Green) but I think it is now discontinued
.... we came across our van due to luck ...
). But it still is on the bucked list for me. We went up to the dealer in January since our previous Caddy came up end of contract. The idea was to change it for a cali but we where out of our financial depts there for a moment. So we ended up with the New Caddy instead. Maybe in Four years when the contract ends up again. We will have to see if I am that lucky, our find some money somewhere stached in a ditch ;-)
The Kundencenter in Hannover had one on display and I was smitten. Super subtle but really works. Second choice 2 tone would be red and silver but impossible to fly under the radar if thats important.
A fair point. I‘m normally a no-cost paint option man, and I do like Ascot grey. But when I went in this morning, the dealer confirmed the cancelled order Cali had left the factory, ETA at dealer in 4 weeks. So I ordered it….
Blow me down - you must be an engineer !We loved the green colour (Bayleaf Green) but I think it is now discontinued
In Oct/Nov 2021 we decided we wanted a VW Camper ... I've wanted one since I could drive but never actually got my hands on one so it was always on my bucket list. We specced one up on the VW configurator and started asking dealers for quotes and delivery times ... they all said it would take about a year which blew our plans for the 2022 summer holidays - so I set up a search on all the German online car platforms. There were loads of vans available online, but no one actually had one to sell - they were either already gone or just teasers to attract customers for orders. We got a bit disheartened, looked at alternatives but nothing quite did it for us.
Then, on the 27th Dec 2021, while having a morning coffee in bed, an e-mail notification popped up for this green/white Ocean at a dealer 250km away. I phoned at 8am when the dealership opened and asked if it was actually for sale, turns out it was a showroom vehicle and they were now selling it .... 2 hours later we were in the showroom signing the sales contract. It was delivered in January and has been a joy to own - we've been all over Europe in it from Scotland to Southern Italy - loads of adventures and memories.
The solar I specified and installed myself and it looks like this ...
