I would say red,lets be honest,there's a vast amount of silver Golfs out there(including mine!),so i reckon it would be quite nice to be different. Red on these mkiv's wont fade,as they are a laquered finish unlike previous models,but polish it anyway,as it will just look even better! Dont forget,red was one of the most popular Golf GTi colours right from the mk 1 until the recent trend to buy metallic finishes. What better colour to have on a model that celebrates 25 years? Just my opinion,of course! Paul.
