I'm not too keen on red if I'm honest !
I was thinking Porsche grey as that's not very common or focus rs white !

This is randem mid night purple  :cool:
Title: Re: Golf mk4 - what colour ??
Post by: MrRogers on 22 May 2012, 23:48
I like mid night purple i was almost tempted with this colour quite rare i believe on Nissan Skylines?..I seen the new Audi a1 in a really stunning brown'ish/red flip paint colour that looked really good in the sun today. If you fancy going white i believe that the nice new Audi's that you see swaning around the colour goes by the name of "Ibis White" or the bmw equivalent "Alpine White".

Post by: golf-sib on 22 May 2012, 23:50
Thought it was Candy white?
Title: Re: Golf mk4 - what colour ??
Post by: cullygti on 22 May 2012, 23:53
candy white tends to be more on the vw than the audi
Title: Re: Golf mk4 - what colour ??
Post by: MrRogers on 22 May 2012, 23:55
Lol i think theres so many different shades of white. I just did abit of googling a while back to see what the paint code was of what the new Audis where and came across a few forums that seemed to be the fave "Ibis white" i would of thought Candy White was the equivalent to the Black Magic Pearl (black with a silver flec through it)  but white with abit of silver flec in? :rolleyes: thats a guess btw lol.
Title: Re: Golf mk4 - what colour ??
Post by: golf-sib on 22 May 2012, 23:58
so Ibis white is the white of all whites and candy white is like magnolia equivalent?  :laugh: :shocked:

I think they are making it all up, its just white  :grin:
Title: Re: Golf mk4 - what colour ??
Post by: MrRogers on 23 May 2012, 00:01
Haha although i just done some more googling and i cant tell the diff at all candy white/ibis white i think its all the bloody same tbh - although just typed in "candy white" into google and a very nice r32 comes up on images in that colour its almost tempting for a respray in that but it would only last in the summer would look outta place in winter :grin:
Title: Re: Golf mk4 - what colour ??

Mk4's in white don't float my boat, think it doesn't suite the car, it remind me off an old fiesta in van white where new cars are more curvy and it suits them better. I'd go for either of the greys
