Interesting, at time of writing the 'classic' GTI colours of black, silver and red are in the 'lead'! Tastes must have changed a little since the 70s!!

As you say the only two original GTI colours of Red and silver are not doing well.

I think it is the Candy White owners voting against Reflex Silver and Tornado Red. :evil:

Silver has to be the most boring colour due to the amount of silver cars of all breeds you see out on the roads. If we were voting for the best colour, my vote would have to go with red. Oddly, it's quite a rare sight nowadays.

I do think we are very let down by VW given the choice of colours they give us.

Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Yes but you have to pay for it.
Also worth a note that VWuk will order your car in any of the 'home market' colours as a special factory order request but you have to pay the extra the same as the Germans do.
