unless its a bare metal respray of the entire shell, changing colour always looks naff when the door shuts, interior, engine bay, floor pan etc are a different colour.
If you really have to;
mid 70's bright primary colours
the classic GTI Mars Red, Silver and Black
trendy 80's metallic Lhasa green and Helios blue.

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

What about a colour no-one has, like the new vw ice white or new scirocco lime green.
I have found the best colour for me is white. You can change the look without touching the colour. Change the wheels, lights and hood skin (if cabby)
If you pick the right one you will love it and will be unique.

gud thing is that ther is no mk1 golfs around where i live so as it is the mk1 stands out pretty well although i would love a colour that stands out from the crowd (:
