Fingers crossed monkeyhanger! It definitely is a time-passer on here though, good job too!
As for the colour, I had a white car previous, and had no reservation at all going white again, it just suits the GTI so well. Red looks really nice too, but I prefer the contrast that white gives to all the red and black accents! Regardless of colour though, there is no denying the quality of the drive and car itself!
