Anything wrong with red?

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 

I have seen them in the flesh and they look much better than the photos. What if your wife likes the Parker alloys when she sees a GTI?

Sing after me, "There may be trouble ahead..."

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. It's a really eye-catching colour.

Correct; it was due to them not having clear-coat.

She's decided to get an evoque. Only other car she likes the look of although it's completely different to a Golf
I can't say I'm particularly happy with her decision but it's her money and the end of the day.
A friend of mine has just swapped his BMW 520d for the new Audi A4 3.0 V6 272bhp diesel and I wish she'd get one of those instead
