Carbon Steel (4) - cos it's probably a little more forgiving dirt wise than black but still dark and broody.
Tornado Red (5) - Cos I can't help but like red Gti's
Racing Green (31) - cos it's similar to my Dragon Green Mk3 and I do love that colour.

i think they done something a bit different to stand out like the other hatches on the market at the minute

You're kidding, right?  I mean, thank goodness we're not getting Agent Orange or Kermit Green, but something that wasn't either red or dead (boring) would have been nice.  Six of the nine UK colours monochrome, and two of the remaining three very dark blues?

Gimme a break.

i mean the Focus RS stands out in a croud no matter what colour it is. i don't think a MK6 GTi does, so, maybe they gave a wide choice of colours for people who want a mk6 GTi and also want to stand out.

But they didn't.  Only the first nine of these colours are available in Britain.  That's six monochrome (white, three grey and two black), leaving only the very bright red and two very dark blues for people who want a car with a bit of colour.

I'd have loved one of the other 27 colours you can have in Germany, but no dice.  Even if I could face the hassle of getting them to make a right-hand-drive car in one of these colours, I wouldn't be prepared to pay the sort of prices they're asking.

There's nothing wrong with the colours they're offering here, but no way is it a wide choice, and none of the colours is going to make the car stand out (red and white are common colours and not even metallic).

I've ordered Blue Graphite as being the only one with even a hint of subtlety, but it's a lot darker than I'd have preferred.

Rolfe.  Hankering after Ravenna Blue.
