Hi Colour thing is personal i have a deep black an it looks good, thought about candy white but have had white cars in the past, the one draw back with white is you cant see how deep the shine is in the paint work as you have all the light reflected back at you, Think all the colours are good but its the cars shape that makes it outstanding,
Hope the wait is not to long for you but it will be worth it

But I noticed you have the VW mudflaps, could you tell me if they stick out or look good? Its another thing I'm undecided on. Been trying to find a pic low down from the back looking at them, but no luck...
The link seems to work ok when I tried it...???

Mudflaps, I'll take a picture and post it for you... :)

Don't know about modern whites but I used to have a white Honda CRV (2001 model). Before the warranty expired all the hinges showed signes of rust around the edges and had to be replaced. I also notice that rust tends to show up around the weld seams of other white cars. I believe this is due to lack of pigment in the paint but thats the reason I'll never have another white car, despite the white rocco looking awesome!
