....Superb!!!!!!!! :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: - Five Star Cool!!

If I was to buy a 2-seater it would definitely be a Porsche. Sometimes you can get good ones second-hand and hardly used. I drove a Boxster recently and loved it! Superlative xzorst soundtrack at all revs.

Joe knows fine well that black is the ONLY colour for the GTI  :smiley:
White does look stunning but a washed, polished and waxed black GTI is just unreal especially with Monza II's.

White does not reflect like pearlescent black and nor does it look as good when the sunsets.

cheers all  :smiley:  the pics do make the red look a little too much but in real life  :drool: :drool:

i was looking to trade mine in some while ago for a candy white one, it was same year and had 2000 more miles on it, the dealership said i could trade all my stuff over and make my car standard and have the white one for 800quid. i didnt see the point in the end and my dad told me not too  :smiley:

Post by: Manu_R32 on 18 March 2008, 10:27
Not sure if the 800 quid would be worth the extra 2000 miles??
