OP.... i would go for red! Boring maybe, but red looks best on a black GTI!

It's a vRS!!!  :P  But I know what you're saying.  I think orange is out of the running, thought maybe white?!

One of the guys on Briskoda has an R32 set up in green, I love the colour but I think it's a step backwards, if that makes sense?

Have you got a linky to Chris's, I wouldn't mind seeing it?

I've seen a set of RS6 8 pots in white and they looked sweet, but for me you cant beat the traditional red paint. And its functional, anyone whos made the mistake of touching them after a drive will tell you their F**kin RED hot  :grin:
