I'm past the halfway mark now on saving for my Ed30, but at a loss as to which colour to go for.
I know laser blue is not available unfortunately, but did it come in Shadow blue?
Failing that, did they do candy white?
What do you think is the best colour for the Ed30?
:popcornsoda:
-
Not sure if they made the blue or not tbh?.. Someone else will have to help out there. As for colours my fav is red,(I would say that tho) just think it suits the ed30 soo much. Nice and punchy looking :happy2:
-
Steel grey
-
Steel Grey or Candy White, apart from my previous Candy Ed30 all you ever see is red and black on the road. :happy2:

Thanks, is steel grey a metallic or that solid grey colour I've seen?
-
Yeah go Grey :happy2:
-
Steel grey
X2
-
Candy it's the only choice :happy2:
-
IMO its a personal preference thingy, I've always had a thing for red when it comes to my cars (on my forth one in a row) so for me the Eddy looks best in that colour. Others say Candy, Steel, Black or Reflex. Would look good in blue though.
If I wasn't to pick Red I'd go with Reflex Silver.
:happy2:
-
Candy White. :happy2:
-
Steel grey, because you will be waiting forever & a day for the right Candy to come up :grin:

Hi Graeme,
Is that a solid colour, or the metallic?
-
Grey ED30's are metallic.
Pics in my sig.
-
Direct from the Sales Brochure
Non Metallic - Candy White, Tornado Red, Black
Metallic - Reflex Silver, Steel Grey,
Pearl Effect - Diamond Black
:happy2:
You fancy a Silver 5dr DSG, when you've finished saving... :signLOL:

Thanks for that :happy2: However, I will be going manual, 3 dr with sunroof of course!!
-
Red then white in that order :happy2:
-
^^^^ So Pink then!
-
Tornado red is the ONLY colour for any GTI imho (apart from Pirellis, which look good in Black).
Steel Grey is a fantastic colour and looks very good on GTIs, but Tornado Red is still the best.
-
For me it has to be DPB or candy white...but as already mentioned colour is a personal choice.
-
Another vote for Steel Grey Mettalic! I searched for over 6 months before finding one with the spec in wanted!
Well worth the wait.

Sorry Sub, but Laser blue c**ps on every colour in my opinion, just can't understand why VW dumped it. Nothing electric blue in the Mk7 either, when BMW and Mercedes are doing wonderful similar hues.

Swedish Racing Green. :laugh:
-
White with gunmetal grey wheels :drool:

it's a nice colour, don't get me wrong. i just feel that that sort of electric blue belongs to the .:Rs. (in fact in the same way i believe that TR is the only colour for a GTI i believe that blue is the only colour for an R lol.)
it's all down to personal preference at the end of the day. i think white is a terrible colour on any car (except for that sort of cappuccino satin white colour on the Fiat 500), but people have gone mad for it lately. thankfully the trend does seem to be dying down somewhat.
-
A vote for steel grey here. A biased viewpoint of course...
Still, I do really like the white & red, but on other people's cars! White looks great, but would never be clean for long - Red is fantastic, but just shouts out a bit much for me. For some reason, in the ED30 I seem to see enough gittish driving around me without a bright red car to bait them up even more!
To the OP - good luck with the saving!
-
Candy white was the colour i really wanted when i was looking for an ED30 and my second choice was tornado red, which is what i bought.
To get a candy white ED30 or even a normal GTi you have to pay a premium for the colour and the examples that were around in white when i bought mine definately weren't worth paying the extra for just because of the colour.
Your going to have to live with the car though so choose the colour you like the best, be a bit of a waste of money if you bought a car in a colour just because the majority said it was the best.
Reds the best though :wink: :happy2:
-
Thank you all for your input. I've never been a fan of grey cars, I've never had a red car, so I'm going to go either red or, as a nod to my old Mk2 16V and Mk4 GTi 1.8T, black.
Basically it will be whichever comes up first in right spec condition, manual 3dr with sunroof!
-
Steel Grey or Diamond Black :happy2:
-
I say Steel grey, and I have diamond black.
Black cars always look the best WHEN they are clean ie for about 20 minutes they are a real Pita to keep clean, grey on the other hand :happy2:
-
Steel Grey or Candy if done right
-
Just seen a well lush 3 dr in Diamond black! Loooked great on it's Pescies!!! :drool:
-
the Eddy looks great in DBP, but i still think it looks best in TR (but with the insert on the rear valance in black)
-
Candy White FTW..

Steel Grey for me too! Spent months looking for a 3 door manual no sunroof! Second choice was white or black.
Any one got any info on colours, specs and numbers released in the uk?
-
Tornado red for me :innocent:
-
Steel grey :happy2:
I went to buy a white one and sitting in it looking at the grey dash which looks brighter with white bonnet in front of it and white mirrors
it just said White van to me sitting in it, so I walked from it.
Glad did as I got what I wanted :smiley:

I take it your back at the dogging
Like who parks in a field :laugh:
-
Scopes - is that yours? :drool:
Its simply not fair to use this picture as argument....
Standard then - Steel grey would be the color for me, but with this picture of a reflex in mind I'm struggling to justify my argument!
-
I have a DBP and everyone knows black is the best colour... when the car is clean... which is never in this country!
So imo the best colour is the Steel Grey as an all rounder :happy2:
-
Red is the colour of the GTI stripe, enough said
-
End of the day they are all solid colours so any are good.
Black cars look awesome when clean
White cars are the colour of choice at present
A red car generally always looks tidy now paint pigment does not fade any more
silver dont show scratches as easily as any other colour
and steel grey is also friendly compared to keeping it clean when compared to black and white cars
-
red is a proper gti colour and looks meanest imo lol i like grey alot aswell and also black when all stealthed out
i used to like white but its just to played out imo now white cars
-
I ordered/bought a white Ed30 when it was definitely out of fashion in 2007...but not being Gok Wan didn't care too much for fashion.
Personally like the whole white thing on reasonably sporty/capable looking cars. The Motorsport vibe sort of thing.
Not for me a bog standard 1.4 Golf in Candy White...but the sporty derivatives I like.
So given solid white has now become so popular there are now lots of white cars about that really shouldn't be in that colour. Small little Korean things just look like kitchen appliances and some big trucks in white look like they should either be Police or Ambulance vehicles. IMO.
But would I go white again on a hot 'ish Golf. Yep.
Am I looking likely to own my Ed30 until is is deeply unfashionable again. Yep
So for the purpose of this thread my vote is Candy..
