Heres all i can find 







Im not sure if this combo works or not

Doesn't look quite right does it? The 4x4 suspension height doesn't help matters, not the fact that the photographer is too close to the car. It may look okay in daylight but I reckon the dark blue needs plain silver wheels, or maybe the polished and grey of Monza IIs(?)

i had shadow blue on a mk5 r32, it is a funny colour, sometimes it looks great in certain light conditions and sometimes it looks poor. I wish Vw done deep sea blue  like audi, the S3 looks nice in that colour and i would spec my R in it aswell

Seen this colour fairly often on the mk5 gti and it does look nice... a little more classy in some respects when its clean, a little dull when dirty

I too have seen it regular on the mk5  Its one of the reasons i went for it, im just not sure the monza shadows work on it. I do like the monza II's on the mk5 in this colour, like the one below just not sure about the monza shadows

there is a simple answer to your dilemma



get a black one

Blacks to common.   
Im happy with the colour its just im not sure if the black of the monza shadows will work with it or not?

This combo just doesn't work at all for me. It looks like the owner bought a bog standard blue TDI and then tried to 'convert' it to a GTI by putting the wheels & grill on

A couple more shadow blue photos to add to the collection of this rare colour, I have kept them on this old thread  so that they are all in the same place so easier to search for them.
This is an american spec model.













Im still not sure if the shiny black on the monza shadows clashes with the blue?

Hey Snoopy

I initially ordered mine in shadow blue because I liked the contrast between the red brake calipers and the blue. I think when it catches the light it can look very classy but I started to have second thoughts after seeing a few of the pictures in this forum and seeing the colour on other golfs on the road.

In the end I changed the order last month to silver as I thought the monzas looked better and it'll hide the dirt a lot better. My currnent car is black and is a right pain to keep clean  and I reckon my neighbours think I've got OCD because I'm forever cleaning it
