You think so, Chavs, Tarts colour Here goes especially for Booth. Unless it matches her nail varnish! :wink:

Your pics are wasted on me, I've seen plenty on VWROC.

Ford ST yellow is quite different, I drove past one this evening. Yellow is very much a sports car colour. The R (mk7 and mk7 facelift) is an expensive moderately fast shopping trolley, I think it can carry off a bit of "chav".

Keep fishing.

You're right, the Ford yellow is way different and nicer IMO


But I think the yellow that VW do in other countries is much better

Agreed that the VW yellow is (much) nicer than the Ford colour and looks good on that R, but it's still a bit of gamble if you have an eye for resale ease and prices.

Obviously on a Ferrari or Lambo it's a no-brainer, which one day I hope to demonstrate!  :laugh:

Gleb, German for yellow and it is one of their 'individual' colours.

There is no doubt that the golf R and Gti interiors are far superior than the Ford ST and RS models, however imo Ford have a much better Colour Palette, "Moondust Silver", "Tangerine Scream", "Nitrous Blue" and "Spirit Blue" are just an example.

Thanks for that those are first choice wheels, I love the blue too but a customer I work for just received his in grey and it looked stunning with black prets😉

Black Pretorias look amazing! I have them on my 3 door Lapiz blue. They are difficult to keep clean, but it's so worth it!  :evil:

You think so, Chavs, Tarts colour Here goes especially for Booth. Unless it matches her nail varnish! :wink:

Your pics are wasted on me, I've seen plenty on VWROC.

Ford ST yellow is quite different, I drove past one this evening. Yellow is very much a sports car colour. The R (mk7 and mk7 facelift) is an expensive moderately fast shopping trolley, I think it can carry off a bit of "chav".

Keep fishing.

You're right, the Ford yellow is way different and nicer IMO


But I think the yellow that VW do in other countries is much better


In the flesh it is a fantastic colour.  I saw it for a while at close quarters (in slow moving traffic) and it does have a gorgeous pearl finish which pics don't convey well.  Looked amazing in the sun.  Always had a big soft spot for the ST in Orange and now Yellow.  :cool:  Just couldn't put up with the plasticky interior.

It is a bit like oryx white, very hard to photo but unlike oryx even on a dull day tangerine screen looks great(oryx looks like flat white)

Friend of mine has an ST3 Focus and it really looks good but apart from the fantastic seats the interior looks cheap.
