Title: What is the official name for this blue?
Post by: ollie288 on March 11, 2009, 06:28:53 pm: Alright guys,

Does anyone know the correct name for this Blue? Is it the shadow Blue, Laser Blue or another Blue? I cant tell because of the lights.

It's not shadow blue thats for sure

Post by: tony_danza on March 11, 2009, 09:12:55 pm: It isn't a GTI, so maybe Costal Blue?
Title: Re: What is the official name for this blue?
Post by: ollie288 on March 11, 2009, 09:35:01 pm: Is costal blue a standard VW colour? So do you think that it is custom?
Cheers for your help :happy2:

Post by: tony_danza on March 12, 2009, 09:16:58 am: I take back Coastal, I've just seen it and its much lighter/less purple. Was an S/SE (maybe a few more?) colour.

Most people seem to refer to this as Laser blue metallic, was the GTI pearl? Early Golf optional colour.

So I could not get this colour on a newer 1.4 tsi 122 then.
I have another question what wheels are these wheels and would they fit a mk5? I saw them at UD on the weekend.
Thanks again :drinking:

Post by: cmdrfire on March 15, 2009, 10:20:08 pm: @OP, the colour in your original post looks to be Laser Blue Pearl. It's less purple than Deep Blue Pearl, and deeper than Jazz blue. See pics on my Flickr for more.
Dunno about regular Golfs, on the GTI it was pearl at least.
