Black or White

HI Im fortunate to have the chance of buying my first GTC SRI 2ltr Diesel. I thought it was gonna be plain sailing in buying a white one, then saw a black one, wow they both look good. Both with roughly the same spec. Any thoughts would be appreciated on how the blacks fairs up with scratches etc?
Thank you in advance Ronnie

i'll never buy another black car... way too much cleaning. whites not much better but doesn't show the dirt quite as badly

Thanks for that mate, yeah its gonna be white then, I had a black focus years ago and tbh it never looked clean. So white it is.
Cheers my friend

As above. Black looks gorgeous when clean but a nightmare to maintain.

Er, although the above looks very nice!! I can see 5 doors! Decided against the GTC then?
Those look like the 19" wheels fitted to the GTC VXR without Aero Pack too? Doh!! Sorry!! Just realised...Tonto posted the pic, well it is early. Post a pic of your chosen White GTC.

They don't make the alloys for left side and right side.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I know it sounds weird haha. I thought they should all go forwards if they're a fan design. Live and learn lol.

I will never buy another white car... Impossible to keep clean. Or maybe I should move somewhere else where it doesn't rain as much...

The car looks nice! I went ooo when i saw the red paint on the calliper, hub and nuts and nahh not ott. Do you think the mud flaps help at all?

Cheers mate, yeah with the GTC's wide wheels, (which is one of the reasons why I bought the GTC) the mudflaps definitely reduce the muck flipping up the sides. Got them off eBay genuine GM perfect fit.
