My god white is popular. Thanks Lindsay Lohan, Premier League football players etc. It's unfortunate that people cannot buy the colour of their desire but need to take into account resale value. If I had the money I would buy a car in an orthodox colour and then put a vinyl wrap on it in the colour in really want.
