Colour Change, your thoughts...

What colours were available for the 81 series 2 Gti and what are the general thoughts on colour changing?

I'm red at the moment and I know white is a rare colour for tin tops of this age but I am unsure of any adverse effects of changing the colour. i also have a passion for yellow cars and would consider this also if available.

I have just restored and sprayed a mates Fiesta Supersport (shown below) which was originally black but is now white however I dont know if he should really have changed the colour.

The before pic, had to show it, its another car that earns respect, pity its a ford.



What are the general thoughts on taking a red car (a bit too common for me) and making it more sought after????

Right mate, firstly I had a XR2 when I was a young pup and it was a screem to drive, easy to fix as cheap to run. I bought it because I couldn't afford the Mk1 Cabby I've got now (which is even more fun). :wink:

Second I love red Golfs!!! When I think of a Mk1 I see a red one. It's not common, it's popular and it's popular because it suits the car.

Failing all that, it's your car and you can paint it sky blue with yellow spots if you want, provided you're happy!!
