    don't think i'd want to modify the car in any way, apart from possibly tinting the back windows. I saw a white corsa S today at the showroom, just doesn't look the same as a white SRi. what did the SRi have that made it look so much better other than tinted windows and a spoiler?

    thanks for all the response

    Nothing wrong with white - unless it's base white and not metallic/pearlescent.

    I got a new car on 1st March in White, near 4 month wait and £600 for white paint, normal metallic is £400.

    Black scratches like hell, white looks good.

    unfortunately its the solid white, although its got a good shine to it i think

    does anyone know anything about being able to alter the scrappage orders? i mean surely theres someone in the government to call to just say "i'd like to alter the colour and vin number of the car please"

    Just buy the white one and stop caring about it, it's only a car after all.

    Does it really matter what colour it is?

    At least white looks better than common hearse like black.;)

    You placed an order, that will be the end of it. On a brighter note, I quite like the Corsa Van.

    According to the Auctioneer at our local Auctions, white is the new silver.
    Or was that because he was trying to sell a white Range Rover at the time.
