Mk7 GTD's look good in red but for some reason GTI's less so.
The first MK7 GTI I ever saw was in red and I didn't like it but I often see red GTD's and know that if I'd had bought one I'd have picked red in an instant. So it must be something to do with the red stripe and the wheels on the GTI.
I had an Imperial Blue Leon Cupra about a million years ago and that put me off dark blue forever. Every tiny spec of dust that settled onto that car seemed to mark it. Never again!
And so, for me, there were two choices for the MK7 GTI - white or Carbon. I chose white as that's what VW use in their press shots so it must suit the car well - that's all I had to go on as there were practically no MK7 GTI's in the UK around when I ordered mine.
But in retrospect I'd have done for a Tungsten Silver 5 door instead of a white 3 door.
Que sera sera.
