Title: Is blue a rare colour??
Post by: TANNER on June 11, 2010, 12:54:30 pm: Hi guys,

Is blue classed as a rare colour for a GTI? I know the ED30's arent available in blue but in general I haven't seen many in blue Gti's around?
When I had my Lupo, Raven Blue and Antracite were both classed as "rare colours" so just wandering what is most common colours in the Mk5?

I am guessing Red and black?

Post by: Mandy on June 11, 2010, 01:54:24 pm: Yes, the Laser blue is the rare blue, think it was discontinued by 2006 so a laser blue gti is indeed a rare gti!

IIRC it was discontinued on the GTI 6 months after launch.
