if you look at the mk5 gti then black is the most common colour by far. White ones are hard to come across and seem to fetch a premium over all others :wink:

Dont know if this will remain the case with the MK6... but white does look good and gets alot less dirty compared to my old black one.

no, Kev  -  too concerned on the dirt/cleaning front  - 

candy white  -  I'm just not convinced that it's me  -  great colour, looks great but just not for me

considered the silver and the blues but have decided on carbon gray.

Graphite blue. (a colour that after looking out of my works window for a month has really grown on me the way it changes colour. Its sort of inbetween the black and red for looking after, and maybe looks a bit more expensive than the red, also its different and thats another reason i like it)

Yes!  Another excuse to post.



Go on, James, you know you want to....  :evil:
