Just window shopping on VW's used car locator and came across this yellow GTI for sale (at Barnetts Volkswagen Dundee).
Didn't know they made them in this colour. Its a wee bit different. Undecided if I like it or not. What do you think?

Nah not for me :sick:

Bit of a bland yellow on the pics and the strips missing off the grille, all looks a bit odd to me :sad:

Prob an import, not for me. P.s VW website is so slow, i can't even get on there half the time.

Your right.... the yellow is to bland + the car is crying out for darkened R rear LED's
-
Would look much better with shiny Monza Shadows and the red bits on the snout.
BTW Neil, bought your new replacement wheels yet?
-
Different but the yellow is to pastel in shade - would need to be bright for a chance to pull it off. Thanks for the pics though - always good to see other colours/designs

Adrian, that was such a Royal response. :grin:

Doesn't do it for me, even with the Silvery Tay as the backdrop. :wink:
Bought my first GTI (mk5) from Barnetts in Dundee. Decent delearship, especially the service desk which I seemed to visit often during the first 10k.
-
It's the colour of milky custard, I love custard but I don't love the GTI in that particular shade.

Not my cup of tea. It looks expensive too; advertised at a fiver under £30k for what looks to be pretty much a standard spec GTI, other than the RCD510, dash mounted bluetooth touch phone kit (you can see these in the interior shot on the website), 18" Monzas and the paint colour. Yellow paint is an option in Germany but it's expensive; the configurator on www.volkswagen.de quotes a price of 1,660 euros, so you'd really have to like the colour to pay that much to be different :shocked:. Might not be easy for the dealer to find a buyer either.
I think I've read somewhere (can't remember where) that it's possible to order a UK spec Golf GTI in one of the much wider range of special optional colours available in europe - assume that's what's happened here. From memory, the cost of some of these colours was in excess of the equivalent of 1,660 euros as it's classed as a bespoke, one-off build, so it doesn't come cheap to be different!
-
I quite like the Custard GTI. I don't think I'd buy it unless it was stupidly cheap as it'd have to be stupidly cheap for you to be able to find another buyer for it once you'd got bored of it and the incredible value for money of a mk7 Golf became just too much temptation (spot the irony there?).
SEAT dealers seem to be trying to shift yellow Cupra R launch demo models at around a grand plus cheaper than other coloured ones.
It'd be interesting to hear about how come they have a custard coloured GTI in the first place. Wonder whether it was a special order that someone chickened out on, or whether the dealership principal ordered it for his wife as a present but before is was delivered she'd ran off with a young adonis whilst they waited 18 months for VW to order enough paint to be able to build the thing......
One thing I will say, it's surprising that a Scottish dealer has a car of that colour as it must clash horribly with the orange hair of the local population......... :lipsrsealed:

I like that!
Red strips, red badges, R rear lights and a change of wheel and that would hit the spot.
I tried to special order a yellow GTI instead of red this time around, and got nowhere.
I like yellow cars :rolleyes:
-
Banana yellow would be ok for me but like others have said, its a bit washed out looking.
-
As Ess_Three has pointed out the car needs a better set of wheels fitted which would bring the paintwork colour out a bit.
I can't say I don't like the wheels as I've got those fitted on mine at the moment but you can get away with black wheels against white paintwork.

Nah, it's their way of differentiating themselves from the English enemy and compliments their blue skin nicely.
I think the black wheels look okay on the car, they'd probably blend in a little better if the mirror caps were done black and as you've all said - the ubiquitous(sp) R tail lamps.
I think the Monza Shadows would actually look worse on that car.
Lots of black and yellow = bumble bee or wasp!

Yeah, that's the intriguing part.

Why so? Bet you can order almost anything if you try. Like say a mk2 TT in mk2 Golf Oak Green :grin:

On the pirelli it was a standard colour in Europe and the UK just got the standard colours? I would agree with you and say if your pockets are deep enough to have a special order paint then they will do it.

Black Gloss Huffs, with yellow edging like mine (red though), yellow grill stripe, and thats a Win for me...
Rare as, and worth a few bob for a collector, as long as its not an import.
-
Evo1986 checked the spec and its definatly not an import.

Ive posted a few times before how to order special order colours.
