Title: White Pirelli Edition?
Post by: dmac1969 on March 24, 2012, 05:22:03 pm
Can you get one? I've never seen one , I'm thinking about what I want next , and I think I'd rather have an ED30 or Pirelli over a newer but standard Mk6 GTI.

The Pirelli only came in graphite blue, reflex silver, diamond black pearl and yellow, although yellow wasn't available here! :happy2:

ED30 available in candy white, they look great (and its the best colour) altho I would say that as I own one  :happy2:.

Cheers people , no wonder I havent seen one! I have seen a pic of a Yellow one , VWs Yellows are too custardy for me , I like bright shiny Yellows like SEAT use. I would love a White Ed30 , they seem to be very scarce , although not as scarce as a White R32!

What don't you like about the MK6?

What don't you like about the MK6?

Nothing , apart from the fact that I cant afford an R or Ed35! Id rather have the best version of any car that I'm interested in so thats why I'd rather have an Ed30 over my current GTI , and why I'd rather hang on until I could afford an R or Ed35 if I was to go Mk6 - however I dont want to wait that long for my next car!

I love my ED30 but my next car will be a Golf R (call the ED30 a stop gap if you like!) as soon as prices get sensible

My sentiments exactly :) The Golf R will hopefully be in range in about a year or so but going to love my ed30 until then!

Pirelli was available in yellow. The one my local dealer had in their showroom was that colour.

Yellow was not a UK colour. Must have been an import.

I've seen a few pale yellow ones too, presumably imports.

Yes there was a link put up to one recently that was an Australian or New Zealand Import.

Well I'm at a loss as to why a dealer would be selling a car that wasn't available?

The Clio R27 wasn't available in white, but Renault still made one for someone who asked nicely. Maybe VW UK are as accommodating for their customers?
