Ordered a new GTi - Colour Help
« on: 11 December 2007, 12:45 »
Hi folks. Newbie here. Just ordered my new Golf GTi for March delivery. Tentatively ordered it in Tornado Red, but am now thinking black. But which black.

Black or Diamond Black? Is there much difference?

Diamond black has a fine pearlescent finish. Much better and classier than standard black IMHO :wink:

Both will be a pig to keep clean but they look great when detailed. After black, red would be my second choice.

I still think white is a minority colour and will not be so sought after come resale time.

Still, it's your car and you should buy whatever colour floats your own boat :shocked:

Yes, White in 3 door with nice wheels looks the best.

White will have better second hand appeal, on account of their rarity and coolness :-)
