Why is it that some coloured 6's go for more than others? Blaze and niles seem to go for nxt to nothing yet a china will go for an extra £400-600? Is this just because of the rat saying how awesome china blue is?________________________________________ cherry p1.....SOLD (regreting this)blaze p2.....why did i buy this SOLD Black p3  |

LOL That is because chavs have got hold of the majority of the Blaze/Nile examples and run them into the ground. /thread________________________________________ I Live for the 306 TEAM CHERRY PINK RALLYE 2008 BMW ///M 320d |

Manstone is just bent /threadPhase 2 and 3 Cherry 6's exist although not masses e.g rarer than the famed and dashed myth of 60 astors. Gazzerdaman has one. ________________________________________ Black X Reg PIII.VGTi 6 A4212 pt 1 A4212 pt 2 Searching the streets of Bristol for 1.36p/day.Joint Kent Leader |

I personaly would not mind a Nile or a Blaze but I usually find that those examples generally look well used/abused in adverts where as The China examples are probably the most cherished as a whole. Just look at all the China blue GTi6' on here all look look great and up together, well the ones i have seen. I am not biased even though I had a China as it was far from mint and i prefer Diablo.  thugpuggin wrote: Manstone is just bent /thread Phase 2 and 3 Cherry 6's exist although not masses e.g rarer than the famed and dashed myth of 60 astors.

Most people in the UK seem to prefer metallic grey, black, silver or dark blue cars, if the mix on the roads is anything to go by. It just makes the roads look monochrome as everything blends into the grey road or grey sky. Or the black night. When asked, people say "I chose it because of the better resale value". It is fashion - in the 90s there were more red cars, but not many at all these days. On a sporty car on the other hand I prefer a solid (non-metallic) brighter colour, e.g. Cherry Red. But not Diablo for some reason, something about a metallic darker red it almost looks brown to me. But I am clearly very much in the minority. Sigma blue and China would be my fave metallic 306 colours. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

I quite like Blaze Yellow tbh, a nice mint one is a lovely colour. As for Astor, yeah i've got one but wouldnt say it was the best thing since sliced bread. Id prefer a cherry red phase 3 but they are like rocking horse eggs.________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?
