In some lights the shadow blue looks good - in others, it just looks plain and boring.  The problem we face in the UK is that it needs sunlight to sparkle, and we don't get much sunlight!!  :nerd:

I don't think the Monza Shadows go very well because of the dark colours merging into each other.  No contrast.

Snoopy:
Strange this: never thought the 18" Monza Shadows would not quite suite a Golf GTi in Shadow Blue.
Love the colour: truly fanatastic. Prefer it slightly to my Tornado Red! But it costs more.
Shadow Blue seems to be too rich a colour for the 18" Monza Shadows.
Golf R 18" (or 19") Talladega wheels may be the perfect ones for your Shadow Blue GTi.

You know what? The 18" Monza Shadows also look great with a Shadow Blue GTi! :smiley:
Stop confusing me all of you! :rolleyes: :grin:
