What sort of colour shade wise is it to the similar colour on the Renaults. Ta
Probably not easy for anyone to give a definitive answer unless they’ve owned both.
I think the similar Renault colour is Flame Red metallic. If you Google ‘Renault Clio Flame Red’ or carry out a similar search on YouTube, you’ll find lots of images / videos that you can compare to the picture posted by trebor808. You can also check out Google images and YouTube videos of Kings Red mk8 Golfs, plus pictures of nearly new Kings Red Golfs for sale on VW’s website, Autotrader and other pictures posted by members on this forum (search for ‘kings red GTI’ on the mk8 forum board using the search function). That way, you should get a good selection of images of the two colours under different lighting conditions that you can compare.
From trebor808’s picture of their GTI, IMO Kings Red looks to have a copper coloured tone to it that Renault Flame Red doesn’t, although that could be down to the lighting conditions when trebor808 took the picture of their car - it probably looks completely different in bright sunlight.
