Cooffe Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hi guys, looking for a clean, unmodified GTi, preferably not in silver. Will consider red and black, other colours welcome too. Not looking for an import, UKDM only please. Strong budget. Please feel free to message me what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my fav colour and I have a black JDM Legacy so think something darker (aside from the red) would look quite nice with it 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigcraft Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Totally agree, silver is grim and soulless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 Yeah, one of mine is silver. Not a good colour. Even in bright sunlight it doesn't pop. Just looks like a dirty grey most of the time. Even the Arosa grey looks smart when parked next to it in cloudy skies'. Fantasia green is the ultimate gti colour, but next is probably blue. 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are so few and far in-between though, probably sitting in someone's garage SORNed and not being given the love it deserves 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2ACP Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 silver not my first choices but would happily have silver again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj2112 Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 I feel silver is getting a slightly harsh time. I currently own one, and I'll admit not my first choice, but see one in the flesh and they look bloody awesome in my opinion. I've had black and laser blue, black would be my least fab tbh. Good luck in your search. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kt_lou_gti Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Nowt wrong with Silver, stays clean for longer; besides it was used in a lot of VW promotional shots so probably why there's a lot about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Those hating the silver are looking for a ban... ...🥸 On a side note, I was once on a road trip where each colour GTI was present. One "celebrity" Lupo owner, winner of many awards, commented on a fuel stop, that silver looked best on the move. He also said he would deny saying it, should I ever repeat his words, due to his faithful following of Raven Blue, which in my eyes, is the worst colour for a Lupo GTI.

tigcraft Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Sometimes when you can’t make your mind up….. My old lupo from 2007, a long time ago!! I liked the VW polo ‘colour concept’ idea but not necessarily those strong colours. It’s a ‘marmite’ thing… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I'm not that against it but the blue doesn't work. I get that something was needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigcraft Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Yes everyone has their own idea that’s why I mentioned marmite, it was a silver canvas that went blue but I could have gone all gold tones or green tones or even red tones but that could have included pinks which sumhow I couldn’t stomach. When I sold it years ago I put it back to std silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
