Some nice metallic greens and other colours available to continentals that we didn't get.
Mars red is the archetypal GTI colour;

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

When Mars Red coloured GTi's are in mint nick as yours is they look fantastic but when the sun gets to the paint they can look really shabby really quickly.
Thanks for the photo
