Is the colur of my GTi 8v rare?
« on: 05 September 2006, 10:07 »
Just bought a Mk2 1988 GTi 8v.  I've seen the majority of the Mk2's come in Red, White, Black and later in Red.  However mine is in Silver and I've only see 2 others in silver and they were in the Gallery.  Question is what's the name of my colour and is it a rare colour for the Mk2 GTi?  The reason that leads me to believe it's rare is that I am finding it near on impossible to find body panels in my colour when there are plenty red, white and black panels about.

I dont think so. It might not be one of the most popular colours but its certainly not rare or special. People often say oak green is rare n stuff but personally i think thats rubbish. Its just a nice colour. Rare to me would be the purply blue edition 1 colour.

To be honest I've seen far more Blue, Oak Green, RED, Black and White Mk2 GTi than I have seen Silver.  I base this on the availability of those colour specific body panels.  I have seen plenty of Silver Drivers etc but only ever 1 GTi Mk2, and that was in the Gallery.  I might even e-mail VW customer services and see if they hold a record on the number and colour of Mk2 GTi's sold in the UK.

Silver?  Who's got a silver one?!  :smug:

On a serious note though it is well known that silver GTI's are faster than any other colour.  :laugh:
