Gti......Undecided
« on: 01 October 2013, 21:40 »
Hi guys.....

Well so much for looking at a Mk6 on Sunday, I was looking for a ED35, but the sale's man said why not try a Mk7, I said I havent seen one yet up close, so when the wife sat inside, she said ooooohhh, I like this!!!
Well its been a couple of days looking for a nearly new one on a 13 plate, which are out there, but I cant decide on either White or Red....

Both look good and I had my chance of a White one today but the timing is wrong just now, as we are off on holiday and I wont manage to travel down to Edinburgh in time to do the deal....So will have to leave it till I come home.
I could have put down a deposit to keep the car but I think I was rushing into it as it's the 1st one I have seen.
It was a 5 door White Gti, and after looking am swinging towars a red Gti......

What's yer thought's on a Red over White???  :undecided:

Just sold a tornado red gtd, loved the colour and looks stunning when it's clean, didn't really show the dirt too bad either. Ordered a white mk7 but bottled it and changed to carbon grey !

The vast majority on here have probably ordered white but there's a good reason for that. The car looks fantastic in white. Just check out the pics in the New Arrrivals thread

We chose red GTD but if we'd been ordering a GTi I think we'd have gone for white, or carbon grey. They all look stunning though

Hardest decision I had to make when choosing and speccing my car came to colour. This forum had also re-enforced my opinion that nobody else's opinion really matters - only you can make that decision. Colour also creates mass good natured debate from forum users. It tends to be pure white fans v everyone else.

Personally I thought pure white looked ace with the 19" wheels in 3 door. Also think pure white works well with the red front line.....so I went for PW.

However, must admit I have had doubts since ordered. However.....I think that is normal as other great colour choices exist.

Good luck with your decision mate.
Letting my heart rule and not my head - GTI Mark 7 arrived: 3dr, 19" Santiago, sat nav, pure white.

Don't get me wrong, white looks great and all, but I can't help but associate it with chavs and white van drivers.

I don't think there's really a bad choice for colour overall though. Just go with what will make you happy - other people will admire the car no matter which you choose.
