hey

which of the three colours do you think suits the anni?

i wouldnt mind a red one to be a bit different but am worried about the paint fading.

I would'nt worry about the paint fading, my old 1.4 paint was still mint and it was a V reg.

Black everytime, they look brill in black with red calipers and the black headlights. As they say once youve had black you wont look back.

Black Anni's do looks great! but the red ones do it for me too.

 

[Ricardo]

Black with light tints [8D]

TBH I don't think it matters, In general I do prefer black cars, but I think the Anni colours are all spot on.

IMO the MkV GTI should be strictly kept to 3 or 4 colours too . . .

 

[NikB]

Black looks great but it's a pain to keep looking good. Red ones are rarely seen too.

 

[Russell]

I would go Silver, because the red paint is not metallic or pearlescent so it will be very soft. While the black looks nice but is a pain to keep clean. Whereas Silver looks good and doesn't look dirty so quickly.

 

[Reflex TDI]

Black, Black, Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

 

[B15ETJ]

Even though i have a black prefer the red [^]

 

[jamesmac]

red, but i am biased

 

[RS2002]

Black is stunning, really compliments the Anni finish on the alloys. Silver comes a close second. Red is just too in your face and steals away the splendour that the small details [painted callipers, Recaro seats, ali trim, anni rims, chrome exhaust] would usually get. Each to their own though and all that []

 

[V6DKO]

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.

 

[V6DKO]

Oh yes,forgot to mention,silver can be a bugger to match if you ever need to have it repaired or sprayed! Just something to consider if youre about to part with 15 grand!....Damn,ive just bought a silver 4mo for 15 grand!!! Oh well.

 

[harvey240902]

Silver looks awesome with tints! Have had 2 anni. golfs both in silver and If you don't want to see stone chips, scratches etc then get a silver one!
