Is blue a rare colour??
« on: June 11, 2010, 12:54:30 pm »
Hi guys,

Is blue classed as a rare colour for a GTI? I know the ED30's arent available in blue but in general I haven't seen many in blue Gti's around?
When I had my Lupo, Raven Blue and Antracite were both classed as "rare colours" so just wandering what is most common colours in the Mk5?

I am guessing Red and black?

Yes, the Laser blue is the rare blue, think it was discontinued by 2006 so a laser blue gti is indeed a rare gti!

I've only seen one blue one... ever.

They are a really nice colour, actually.  :happy2:

I've seen a few in Laser Blue, but can't recall ever seeing a Shadow Blue one.

IIRC it was discontinued on the GTI 6 months after launch.

Those alloys make the car look amazing (2nd pic). Good choice on not colour coding, provides a nice contrast to the alloys :smiley:
