They both look fantastic but I can't help but notice how much nicer the Austins are compared to the Parkers, in my opinion of course.
I'm sure many owners of the facelift GTI will strongly disagree....even though they would be wrong :wink:

I own a 7.5, and I have to agree. I strongly dislike the Parkers, it's the worst thing about my car IMO. Makes it look even more 'chav'.

My local dealers have a "Black Rubin" (Barney the dinosaur purple!) FL GTI spec'd up to the hilt outside their showroom. I bet they'll eventually find someone who loves it though. We're all different. Thankfully.

Colour blind maybe??

... I can't help myself commenting on them, but I promise to try and follow the old 'if you can't say anything nice, say nothing at all' motto in future  :lipsrsealed:
That's the way I was brought up, "If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing!"

I have decided to do the same thing about one of the new colours. I have already made too many negative comments about it. It is difficult when others are so gushing in their opinions. However, I certainly do not mean to be rude about someone's new car. Though my comments could be taken that way. A man of my age should know better.

I never said it was wrong to express an opinion. :huh: I think you are missing my point. :undecided:

Do you think it ok for me express a critical negative opinion of a colour I really do not like every time I see it shown on here???

Is that acceptable behaviour on this forum?

Why not it's your opinion. If anyone takes the hump then they need to grow a thicker skin. Not everyone likes the same things.

I have to agree. You can't afford to be sensitive on a public forum.

@Daz no i don't think its necessary to express your opinion everytime you see a colour.  Not trying to sensor, but the fact you wrote that line makes me thing you may have doubts yourself.  Not much point in it, and we don't need to read it every time.

Not everyone like the same things but to comment everytime you see a thread about a colour would be weird, but post count is king on some forums i guess.

Some will think everyone want to know their opinion but frankly we don't, not exclusively this forum but all of them.


no one gives a sh!t...

just my opinion, which apparently is free to give on a forum :)

So what is the difference between 'expressing my opinion' of White Silver Metallic, and 'forcing my opinion on others'?
