He forgot to mention it was missing front fog lights  :rolleyes:

And doesn't it look great for not having them.

Actually I met a GTD 7.5 tonight in Coleshill that didn't have fogs and my first thought was that it didn't look right. To me it is like when you buy a car and you don't tick all the options and you look at that blank switch cover and think :angry:

Have to say saw a white/silver GTD at Swindon Vw next to a pure white and it won hands down. A must see in the flesh color. Not sure I would rate it over lapis or oryx. But for a new GTI owner, check it out.

White Silver I think is a must have colour.... I didn't flip mine in time though - got my build date finally this morning LOL

Mind you, if I'd ordered an R, Tumeric Yellow FTW :)

From the various photos and videos I'd seen of White Silver, I liked it. However, I saw a White Silver Golf in the flesh the other day and now I'm not so sure.

It wasn't a performance model, and I daresay that a White Silver GTI with the red accents would look quite good. However, the one I saw did look a bit like a car that had been primered but VW had forgotten to apply the colour coat. If I wanted a light coloured GTI I think I'd choose Pure White over White Silver and save myself £290, although in reality, I'd go for Isaac Blue, which is the same cost as White Silver!

It's good that we don't all like the same things though.

I'd be tempted by the yellow, not sure how it would go down on resale let alone with my OH although she was keen on an orange TT...

Its a performance car, I don't think leery colours will dent resale, might actually enhance it.

Think about those b@tsh1t colours of the Focus RS :)

Very true - I also think if you're going to spend a vast amount on something special then you should get exactly what you want. So thanks, if I go for an R then yellow it'll be :laugh:

Funny that I always regret not ordering yellow on a 182 Clio at a whopping £1000 on a £14k car. Only a handful found on U.K. Roads.Great yellow, but sorry chaps don't like this turmeric on anything other than the r line in ads. It's basically not yellow enough and too metallic for an R. Look at Ferrari and Lamborghini for instance.
