Of the two colours I'd go for Red as the Rising Blue seems to be the default. The voting proves it! :evilgrin:
Personally, I'd get a Silver one. Suits the R and makes it look classy.  :smiley:

Ok so I would go for red.

The reason?

When I was buying my ED30, red was the last colour I would choose but it was a good price and brought the ED30 into the frame for me.

When I saw it I changed my mind, love it now and I would buy red again.

Stone chips quite badly though, but its a car so who cares in the scheme of things? :popcornsoda:

Probably stronger paint 4 years on or get a wrap to protect the wings and bonnet which is probably a plan TBH.

the RB is Metallic...the TR isn't.

So the Blue wins.

And besides...it looks the dogs when clean and shiny!  :grin:

Get a facelift S3, much better looks and interior. Yes it will be used but you're going to save over £10k



. Looked after too  



                     :chicken:


Back on topic, you cant ask anyone what colour you want, it is purely down to personal taste. Only you can decide what you prefer. I love looking at red cars but would never dream of owning one. Dont really like blue as a colour on cars and yet have bought 2.  :laugh:
I also think with your cars its whats on the inside that counts.  :drinking:

My first choice would be Reflex Silver, second Candy White.............

Oh and both would HAVE to have black wheels!!  :notworthy:

Sorry I can't help with your question!  :laugh:

And yes Toms car was looked after, but not by him!  :signLOL:

Saw a red one for the first time in Pudsey last night.
Hope the owner isn't reading.  Cos it really didn't look owt special. 
If it wasn't for the Stunning 'Talladega' alloys and weird three point turn I wouldn't have given it a second glance.
Well it was the driving over the curb in front of me that first drew my attention.

Rising Blue Metallic and Deep Black Pearl or Candy White look fantastic. Only ever seen on CW at the dealers.
No Golf anymore. 
Enjoyed the last five years of ownership of Mk5 & 6 GTIs.
Plus an excellent forum for knowledge and new ways to deplete the bank account.
Thank You Everyone.

Too late for me to vote, but the Rising Blue is easily one of the best colours I've seen on a car. The R looks stunning in it.
