Official GTi Edition 30 'Ordered' Club

[S11EPS]

I think white is the nuts. Definitley without shaddow of a doubt THE car colour to have at the moment.

In two minds as to order my next car in white - need to confirm colour combo this week.

My only worry is, with white having been so un-popular for so many years, is this resurgence just a flash in the pan. everyone agrees white cars are 'of the moment' but how long will it last? I remember several years ago when peugeot were pioneers of that Orangey Gold colour, and everyone was buying into it. Then I remember the ar5e crashed out of that fad, and everyone was left with very 'unfashionable' coloured cars that the owners came to despise.

I'm not laying out nearly £38k on a car that could, potentially, be un unsellable monster that I no longer like after 6 months of ownership (I keep my cars three years).

It's a brave man that goes for white, but, right now, I applaud his choice, because I love it.

That ED30 in white is beautiful, simple as.

Silver is the wimps choice of white!

Personally as a White soon to be owner (next Tuesday - horay!), I justified it on the grounds that

- It looks awesome
- White is a classic Golf colour - in my mind MkI/MkIIs always came in white and looked best in white.  As this is a special edition it only makes sense to keep up that traditiom

Plus white is a different thing to that yellowy-gold anyway.  There will always be some kind of market for white cars.

Make the call - you know it makes sense!

Indeed - However (playing devils advocate) so was red black and silver.
IMO British cars come in green, French Blue, Red Italian and German.........Silver.
Call me a traditionalist but i've stuck it my pipe and am smokin it!

each to their own!! How boring it would be if we all had the same colour. There are pro's and cons for all colours but we chose what WE like. I'm sure everyone who has bought a car has thought other colours are "nice" but we bought the colour we wanted. In an ideal world we'd probably have one in every colour available! (except the orangy - gold!)

[Ollieb7]

What? Do you not want to add pink?
In this instance i do not care about IMO - it is full on poo colour in everybodies book except mums (mine) and buffties!

[Simonet]

Pinks lovely!!! Ask my Daughter, she wouldn't have her Nintendo DS in any other colour!

Now my son, well his (when he gets it for his Birthday) will be Black....mmm....maybe I had something to do with that! 

Out of interest, funny how the Flip paint effect dissapeared too! Maybe the fact some of the colours looked like primer in certain light had something to do with it eh?

TAGNUT, sorry not replied before but the goddam site keeps going down in the middle of my post, thanks for your post. My USB works very well, the only thing you may notice is the name of the artist and track playing doesn't show on mine and I think it may do on an Ipod ? Having said that it doesn't really bother me, I have mine set to shuffle and never know whats next anyway, cheers

[paulm007]

Well its a done deal, car is being built now so Black it is, don't think I will be dispointed anyway.  Dave, any more pic's you can post to let me know what I am in for.  Car due mid to end of April, waiting will be hard!!

I am finally taking delivery of my black pearl effect 5dr ed30 today - its been a long wait and a bit of a roller coaster, but the day has now come

On the subject of colour, i think the mk5 gti looks the bees knees in ANY colour.
