I've gone for Red and my GTD is pure white too.
Be good to see so pics if you don’t mind ?
I would but I don't have my car yet it's still on order.
Personally I don't care if people think I'm trying to turn it into a GTI because I'm not, clearly it says GTD. I just think the red looks sportier and stands out better. Besides what's wrong with having red it may be an oil burner but it's a sport variant so why not highlight it as such. Just IMO.
For a GTD I agree with everything you’ve said Jason, with a JB4 you’ll be giving standard GTIs a run for their money anyway . For a GTI though if it’s not a PP then red badge skins are a no no IMO.
I've got red badgeskins on my non-PP as I wanted them to match the other red bits on the car. I have always debadged my cars in the past but didn't feel I could do that to a GTI.
I don't think you're alone in that view though hog_hedge and I do need to avoid eye contact if someone spots that my calipers don't have GTI on them haha. Maybe I should upgrade the brakes, and add the diff... or maybe I should have just waited for the PP to come out!
Anyway, I've voted red but I think red or black will look great.
