True, but how many do you actually see on the road everyday? I see mainly white, red, black and the occasional grey ones on a regualar basis.

fair point the only other oak green i have ever seen on the road was last yr in bristol and its was my friends frined, its a show car and made my jaw drop think it only ever comes out on super sunny dry days  :grin:

ive got a while to go before mine is in any sort of condition like that!

I see mainly white, because they are the dopest! And maybe the odd red, black and the occasional grey ones on a regualar basis.

Fixed for you Mart.  :wink:

BBM is one of my favourites though, Blue's car looks amazing!

at one point you couldn't find one for love nor money but recently there's been alot come out the wood work, but saying that if you go to a show you will only see a couple compared to the other more popular colours in mk2s. Id imagine as people let them rot away and get broken up eventually decent condition ones will become rare once again and see silly prices again like a few years back.

Mars red and BBM are in my opinion the best colours for a Mk2.
