Thanks for the feedback - very useful. Was only thinking Red as my brother has a new Golf GTI and the calipers look pretty hot in red although the GTI does have some other red trim in the grill i think so maybe it ties in well. I know the GTI is "THE HOT HATCH" at present and the B200T is not in that class although i did upset my bro when i told him my Benz was quoted as .02 sec quicker 0-100k than his GTI. My polar silver B200T is all chrome ,silver and black so maybe black is the way to go - hadnt considered it as an option but it has merit and a little more understated/subtle perhaps.

On a more general note am loving my car - has just done 2000k so has loosened up a little and really moves along when required. Actually am just in the process of a bit of customizing - such as putting on chrome pedal covers, mud flaps front and rear, chrome surround for fog lamps. Looks great [:)]

Kdbcom i would be interested in your opinion of your 200CDI after your European tour - i would have preferred a diesel but couldnt wait cos wont be available until end of year here. It is a bit tougher decision which engine (availability aside) cos diesel is dearer than ULP and it is still a bit of a messy process to fill up with diesel unlike Europe. The Australian motoring public are swinging towards diesel and the new Golf is one of the reasons why.
Anyway hope your car goes well - i look forward to your feedback.
