pricing up a mk5

red - i wouldnt have any other colour and the paintwork hasnt faded at all. I do wash and wax it every week tho....

I'll do one about my colour:

Surf Blue (LA5C)

Advantages:

- Looks good in the sun
- Is easy to make it look very wet and reflective with a bit of polish and wax
- Still looks clean under a layer of dirt and dust

Disadvantages

- A lot of old people drive 6N2's in this colour
- Fairly common
- May fade if left without care
- The colour is a bit hard to get colour matched when it needs painting

I'd have a look at Mercato blue, too. Probably the nicest colour

i really like your car ollie.
the colour seems to be just the right type (i know what i mean

)

but then again i reall like 'loud's car in silver

i don't think i'll get one for at least a year so i have a good chance i'll find what i need before then.

i've been looking through some of the pictures and the cars/colours i like are..

ollie r
polopaul
badboypolo
alex_6n2
randall
(i know most are nice but i like the colours and the slight mods)

would the 5 people listed above be able to send me some pics of their cars please

and maybe a bit of info about them..
like standard stuff and whats been modded.

cheers guys

ollie, you say yours is surf blue? mine is exactly the same one but is jazz blue?

Ollie_R · Post by **Ollie_R** » Wed May 23, 2007 5:21 pm

James- It's definitely surf blue. I think jazz blue is a pearlescent colour, and surf blue is a solid. The code on my car is LA5C.

no they dont, only gti's as far as i remember, you can buy my polo off me if you like mate

It's not only the GTi that has fogs, I'm pretty sure the 1.4 16v does.

Dragon green... Best colour full stop. lol

my 1.4 S cost 2.5k, 40k on the clock.

i would of thought a decent mk5 1.2 S would be a few Â£100 cheaper.

fogs come as standard on the GTI, 1.4 16V 100bhp version, and SE models!

i have about 20 quid atm so will that cover it?
i'll even come pick it up for that

i'm sure it wont break the bank to install front fogs anyway so thats the least of my worries when i'm looking really lol

cheers again
