I must be the only one who thinks that colour doesn't suits the GTI, i saw it on the mk5 and didn't like it yet i like it on the R's and R32's. The red stripe with the blue doesn't help for a start but there's always been something about it on GTI's i can't put my finger on.

Love that blue colour, looks sweet! More door for the win  :smiley:

The red line across the headlights make it stand out, you would defo know that was a GTI overtaking you...

Depends what it looks like in real life. If its more like the mk4 R32 or mk5 GTI or the later mk5 R32 or even the Mk6 R shades of blue im not a fan. I always liked them in photos but not in real life.. If its darker than those as shown in the past couple of photos then i probably will like the colour. I also agree in photos the blue with red line does not work at all but in real life its fine imo.
