I had a look at that last photo again on my monitor. The tyres on the GTI Performance are Bridgestone Potenza S001. It was my last hope that they might fit a performance tyre to the performance GTI :cry:

I'm aware that in the past red cars tended to fade in colour but I thought that was not an issue these days.

Was that primarily a Vauxhall problem. Even the Vauxhall mail vans faded to pink. I never noticed any of the older VW or Audi cars with faded red paint.

I always liked red Golfs, but thought it was a colour for a younger person. At the weekend I saw a Mk7 red GTD and R. My first thought was - they look good in that colour. :cool: It's a really eye-catching colour.

It must just be me but I've convinced my wife not to bother getting a new GTI as planned,based purely on the the poor selection of wheels on offer for the 7.5 model.
I'm sure they are a decent enough wheel and will be loved by many, but they are not for me.
Thats my last word on the Parker alloys.......I think  :grin:
