Correct me if i'm wrong,but in the UK,even if you were prepared to shell out extra for a special
order paint colour,you can't do it through an official VW dealer -but does anyone know if there
is another way of ordering a right hand drive GTi in special colour ? - I remember a company
called Ron Hodgson Cars who could arrange personal imports,in fact I remember them advertising
a MK5 Gti in Deep Blue Pearl once.Obviously there could be pitfalls when you come to sell an unofficial import,even if it was to full UK spec ?
I was considering asking for a non standard colour, was going to go for Laser Blue again, here is the e-mail from VW, makes no mention of cost, but seems that it can be done through the dealer, although mine was not keen.
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your recent enquiry. I am delighted to learn of your continued interest in Volkswagen, in order to request a non standard colour on the order; the retailer will need to request a special build from the factory. If your retailer calls or emails our sales team then they can request this build from the factory.Regards[/i]
