true, it does look good after its been cleaned.

shame about those wanky alloys on the ED30, other wise I might be jealous!

I have a diamond black car so I'm baised, but its a b!tch to keep clean

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

You only get half an hour with diamond black?  Guess I'm going to get about 5 minutes of clean and shinyness with a white one...  :wink:

I went in to order my Edition 30 in Red, but as soon as i saw the one in the show room in Black, Black it just had to be, By far the better colour. :cool:

I think Black does look mint, on the other hand most peeps are going for that and i wouldnt want to Be another BLACK GTI owner. if i was splashing out the cash on a new gti, it would have to be white... imo the most stunning looking one of the lot. Ok it gets dirty quick but it still looks class . Although it does look like a storm troopers helmet ! (star wars fans know what i mean). All the new white hot hatches coming out,whether its a focus ST  ,Honda civic ,New clio 197 or Megane 225  :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: white certainly makes you look twice at them as they attempt to pass by! :grin:

I'm with you Phil, nice to have a different colour. Trouble is the ED 30 range of colours is so restrictive (for my taste) it'd have to be black which does not highlight the painted skirts to their full IMO.

If only it came in blue. Grey would be my choice...

I'd play safe and go for the Black car! I used to have a black Golf (hard to keep clean) but amazing for those few seconds it was spotless after a wash!

I think the red will look good with the sunroof which will be black and add some contrast on the top. As that is what I ordered I can only pray that is the case. :smiley:

Aberdeen dealer has a black showroom car...looks great, with the sunlight glinting off the metallic










Ive ordered red,because Ive had a black metallic C230 and just like the picture above it annoys that it always looks dusty .

  Or is that just me. :tongue:
