Im buying a gti6 to have fun in for a couple of months, make sure the engines sweet, then i'll be taking it out and putting it in my 205 and then breaking the full car. Iv narrowed it down to two, one is blaze yellow and the other is nile blue. Which colour will i have the best look with unloading body panels in?

Go for the one with the lowest mileage, best history and quietest engine etc. One with the better condition interior.Nile is probably more likely to be more popular panel wise (front bumper). Otherwise door wise just strip them and leave them fitted when weighing in. I wouldn't compromise any of the above for a panel colour, as they won't shift quickly or be worth the effort in removing and storing anyway. ________________________________________  |

I would say they are both a popular colour the problem is waiting till some one what's the panels you have, I find you tend to fill all the space you have with spares that generally take a while to sell on.Carl ________________________________________ C.G.Cars of Leicester, Peugeot/Citroen/Renault specialist Tel: 01162 624498/07799 405184 WWW.CGCARSLEICESTER.CO.UK36 narborough road south, Leicester LE3 2fn MOT station now open, tests £35 with a free retest.
