I didn't realise how rare a white mk3 16v was ? mine was the only one I had seen up until now. tbh mine was ready for the scrappy but have bought it back to life after spending a good couple of grand on it.

heres how it looks now

Don't see many white ones, shame really it is a colour that works on a mk3.

I know of a white one that I pass every day on the way to work... it looks 100% std too and t.b.h the colour dosen't do the 4x4 ride height any good!

There's a white one in Yeovil (used to be Adam's) but they are few and far between indeed.

If you do ever come across a pair, let me know! I've got a mystic blue wing on the passenger side as the arch fell apart pretty much on it's own  :sad:

Non met black is hardish to find, when I was looking all I could find was met black panels.

i almost bought a white 3 door 16v but was too much for what i was going to pay. now in scotland i believe.

its the 3 doors which are really rare!

my mate has a white 3 door vr6 (which is even rarer) although now its an r32 instead.

Although it's easy to replicate an Anni, so many have been broken that there are alot out there that sport the Anni goods but aren't genuine.

We'll have to have a white 3-door 16v register!!!  :laugh:

Agree with Danny- white is not the best mk3 colour to have- shows the rust too easily  :whistle:

All down to personal style and taste.  There is no 'should not have or should have'
