What about Pacific Blue :giggle: another choice . Agree with a solid colour spend more on options, like £600 for a towbar !!!

RED RED RED

My order of preference:

1. Corrida Red

2. Storm Blue

3. Candy White

White is very popular at the moment but I suspect it is about to be trumped by those brown/chocolate colours that a lot of mini and Audi A1's are appearing in. There is also a distressing trend for grey and/or black alloys which are a taste that I don't think I could ever acquire.

However, if it were me I'd forget the other options (especially heated seats which make you feel like you've pee'd your pants) and spend the money on a metallic colour instead. These are supposedly more resistant to scratching due to the additional lacquer coat and it will make the car easier to sell on later.

There is no additional coating on metallic paint. Flat colours receive a clearcoat just the same.

Candy white - and black roof rails not silver.

You're wrong.

IYO

Oh well I've ordered it in Candy White with silver roof bars. Here's to many long days of washing it!

Delivery currently end-of-April to mid-May. Looking forward to getting it for that 'new car' feel again!

It all depends really on how much time you spend on your car, the white ones are just a flat white, no matter how much effort is put into cleaning and waxing ect it still does look anything more then when youve just ran a sponge over it, whereas the red can be made to look beautiful.

I like to spend hours detailing my car, thats why im so glad i got the race blue, it really 'pops' when it has been waxed, iv had a white car before and its just a tad boring.

So in conclusion, red for me

There is also a distressing trend for grey and/or black alloys which are a taste that I don't think I could ever acquire.

+1 defo !

White easily.

It's easy to clean. You can simply jet wash white regularly and it will look clean. The metallic red color requires alot more work to keep it's shine. Also the DRL look alot better on the white imo.

Great choice...I am still stoked with my Candy White...there are a few nooks and crannies that need attention when washing.

I have to disagree with Ema Jane on the white looking "flat". Mine comes up well with a nice shine and the paintwork is a s good as any car I have owned and that includes a 3 Series.

Happy motoring and enjoy the freedom of the outside lane as nobody is quite sure if you are the fuzz!

Each to their own but you can get a real depth to red, white is just white at the end of the day lol

Its not so much the shine its more the colour, its hard to describe but iv just detailed mine today and its looks epic, has not aged a day

I have the same problem at the moment I dont know which to order.

It would be nice to see some pics of non VRS estates in both colours.

I was thinking about a black vRS next time, with black wheels... With Red or Race Blue as the joint second choices, Green 4th.

I'd go yellow if I were you.

No way! Vile colour or should I say Bile colour.

Well I like it.

Can't stand white cars.

White can be made to look glossy and 'wet'.

Reflections are no where near as good as darker colours though.

like this you mean:

Hasn't been waxed for over 6 months either!

Looks good, iv just looked at the photos i took of mine today but for once the sun is too bright for my phone and the colour looks really light :/

My car when I picked it up the other week.

Only a phone pic

Excellent choice!

Like most subjects on this forum its subjective so you will always get the 'anti Brigade' espousing there preference as opposed to yours.

2 years on and still enjoy the comments made by passer's by. Does make the occasional driver slow down it has to be said.(plod factor).

Blue is more common so it's good to have that exclusivity!

60k+ on and still Whiter that White

red for me my fabia sport looks great.
