Red or Blue?
« on: May 14, 2011, 11:55:49 pm »
Well, I've finally settled on a Golf R for my next daily, so now I just need to decide on the colour.

Out of all the colours, the two that I keep coming back to are Tornado Red and Rising Blue.

I love the red for it's pure, rich, vibrant colour

I love the Blue as it is the traditional colour for the Golf R and looks great in the sunny weather.

Which of the TWO colours above would you choose and why?

Edit - a little help below :happy2:

For the R -  I think Red would be a great call.

The Blue is the traditional R colour, but times change.

Indeed there are lots of GTi's/Ed30's about in red, but I've not seen a Red Golf R not even in the mags I look at..

BTW I'd choose the option which sounds like "Handy Kite", but for the purpose of this Red or Blue 'Matrix' like question.
Red is the one I voted.

Rising Blue for me... metallic for one and secondly it will appeal to a wider range of people when you come to sell it on.

Just seen the pics, I voted Red.
For me the pics double confirm my red vote.

Not sure about black wheels of that red R photo though, whether that would be wise box to tick when spec'ing.

I would chose blue because it is metallic and because there aren't any "normal" Golfs in this color.
TR is a common color to all Golfs.
Also, IMO the Blue golf in the above pictures looks better then the red one.

Slightly biased photos at the beginning of the thread, need a better photo for rising blue  :party:

The thing about colours is that it comes down to the light that the colour is under aswell as the camera the photograph was taken with, there can be a massive variance:





But, in my opinion it would be Tornado Red, the majority of both the MK4 and MK5 R32 golfs were built in Deep Perlesceant Blue, and a very small number in Tornado Red. This makes the R look very special in Tornado Red.

Oh, and in my opinion you should choose the colour that has the least votes, at least that gives you an inkling that you will end up with a more exclusive colour  :jumpmove:
