Edition 30 help with colour
« on: 27 January 2007, 17:32 »
I got a red Edition 30 ordered. Has to be 5 door due to too many children.

Now I like the black one in the showroom. The dealership said I can take the one off the forecourt or can wait for 1st March for my red one to be delivered.

So.....any thoughts on the better colour? Red or Black?

Traditionally I always thought the Gti looked better in Red. But I am starting to think the black is better in the Edition 30.

Votes please. Red or Black?

Given that choice, black.

But really not considering white?  It's a classic GTi colour!

I have a diamond black car so I'm baised, but its a b!tch to keep clean, especially in london.  Im guessing red isnt so hard, but hey who am I to know?  However I guess white is even harder to keep clean than black.  I guess it depends how clean u want to keep your car?

I have to say I'm a big fan of the Red on the GTI but if it was a car I was going to own I would choose Black over Red.

Having said that I've been looking at an Ed30 today and if I order I would buy Steel Grey as I think it looks fantatsic on the Ed 30.

Ditto - but how good does it look for that half hour after its just been cleaned and polished!!! :cool:

For what its worth, IMO you cant beat a sparkling diamond black GTI (except for Candy White which the girlfriend ruled out!), but a muddied red one looks better than a muddied black one - its just a good job I enjoy cleaning it  :grin:
