Interesting look, overall I like it but rear looks goofy with the silver and gray trim around the signal and reverse lights. The gray should be orange to finish the look.

Actually, there is a car like that, it is Pumabuilds car. Its a stripped out version painted in yellow with no stripes, black rims and black trim, goes like stink too, about 350 BHP and more torque than most things.

Ill try find some, and it has more torque than a subaru WRX STI, so yes, much acceleration.

Edit-here we go, he took the stripe off.

you atleast have to change it a color already on the car, black or orange. or else that part becomes the focal point when looking at the car from the back I find. What the yellow Focus did on it's front fog lights would be perfect for it.

i suppose, but with orange its a case of love or hate, whereas yellow is more a neutral colour.

BHP is only your top end power, id much rather have loads of torque and barely any BHP cuz i know if i go up to them speeds im gonna loose my license.

Kinda keeping this orange car thing going...

I've kinda been eyeing up a new VW GTI for a while now and a couple days ago when i was driving with a buddy this vibrant orange car caught my eye behind me. I only caught a look at a part of the front but it was such a nice colour none the less. I searched high and low for this tangerine orange on a GTI and could only find red, white, black and grey. I was totally puzzled, but I did eventually stumble on it. It's a limited edition GTI, the Fahrenhiet with only 1500 being made and only 150 in Canada. The cars still in the 30g's range and I'm so tempted do get a hold of one. Now that big blurb is done, pictures of the car.








The interior is really nice, a lot nicer then the plaid fabric on straight GTI's. Although those rear windows need to be tinted for sure.

I dislike the seats.

Have people seen the MK4 mondeo?

the ST/SVT version is rumoured to have a 2.2 twin turbo diesel
