What Colour Gti Would You Go For..

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

Ok picture this. It's the 80s/90s you have just strolled into the local Peugeot dealer to place an order on a brand spanking new 205 GTI. What colour would you go for?

 

Cherry Red

Graphite Grey

Alpine White

Black

Miami Blue

Sorrento Green

Topaz Blue

Laser Green

Steel Grey

Silver

 

I was just wondering as all the 205's I own were bought because they were local and not through colour choice.

 

I'll be interested to see the results

[jord294 92]

white would be my first choice, and then steel grey

 

both would have to be non sunroof cars

White with white speedlines (I wonder why ) Then it would be laser, I think they look luuuvly. If I ever get a GTI I think it would be laser green.

either topaz or laser green, both nice colours.

The thing is the fashions changed over time. White & Cherry was 86, Black 87, Topaz/Haze was 88. Miami was very 1990. Lazer 1991. Yellow was also popular from 93. Silver was quite an illusive colour for a 205 but one of the best in my opinion, partially due to its rarity. It came back in in a big way after the 205 had stopped being produced.

 

The colour choice related to how fashionable you wanted to be really, a bit like all those people who dared to buy white cars about 4 years ago when some manufacturers had stopped offering it as an option on some models (like the BMW Z3).

 

I bought my CTI because of the colour. I love Atlantic Blue.

I'd ask for a custom spray of Mauritius Blue or China blue.

Interestingly I am going to get the car re-sprayed this year. It is currently red, should I keep it that colour or change it to yellow?

White or Black for me,

 

I've just had to choose one, as mine's getting sprayed.

 

White won in the end, but it was close.

[lfallgti 12]

Miami for me, but it would have to be a ph2.

 

Or Cherry comes a very close second.

[Obey_R 23]

Cherry Red - Which, as it happens, is what mine is getting a fresh coat of tomorrow

[flipperthebushkangaroo 2]

Would love a genuine Ltd edition Miami but they came out just after i ordered mine And if i changed my 205 it would be not be mine. as someones sig says

This is my 205 there are many like it but................

 

 

Now just need to get it back on the road!!!!

I went for Topaz, its a close call though because I love my laser green and to be honest I think once the novelty wears off i'd still prefer the laser.

Laser Green.
