Title: Yellow Pirelli - how rare!!??
Post by: Mako V12V on December 23, 2009, 01:12:59 pm: A Pirelli GTi in yellow mica at Aberdeen VW :surprised:

Didn't know they did yellow ones. Will this be an import?

Pitty there's no pictures yet, and it's a 5dr low spec one by the looks of it.

You sure Nath. I remember enquiring about a Pirelli before I got the Ed30 and the dealer mentioned it was one of the colours available. It basically replaces the Candy white for some bizarre reason... :stupid:

Post by: tony_danza on December 23, 2009, 04:07:06 pm: I'd guess you can have anything you want, so long as you're prepared to pay - so it might be a UK car?

But most likely a grey import.

I think yellow needs some black accents, mirrors, valances etc to take the custard blobbiness away from it.

As with the original GTI Pirelli the new car features a set of unique alloy wheels. The modest 13-inch wheels fitted to the 1983 car have evolved into a set of five-spoke 18-inch versions fitted, appropriately, with a set of 225/40 R18 Pirelli P-Zero tyres. Body-coloured elements including the front splitter, side skirts and rear bumper are complimented by a set of smoked rear light lenses and tinted rear windows. A unique Pirelli badge mounted on the bootlid further distinguishes the new car which will be available in a choice of three colours â€“ reflex silver, diamond black and blue graphite.

Title: Re: Yellow Pirelli - how rare!!??
Post by: candy turbo on December 23, 2009, 08:08:49 pm: thats the colour it was designed to be , hence the seat trim , pirelli did run a competition to win one in yellow a while before they were released in the uk so it could be that one ?? imo the pirelli was only released here because of the ed30 cock up (1500/2300)
if i was looking for a car (and it was a 3 door )i would snap that up :smiley:
