How rare is blau schwarz??

[kmpowell]

"Blue-black metallic" is it's proper UK Name.

Big Bumper GTis came in 3 types of Blue - "Bright blue metallic" (C3), "Royal blue metallic" (Y6) and "Blue-black metallic" (9982).

Now the interesting bit...

"Blue-black metallic" was a 16v only colour, it wasn't even available as a factory option for the 8v. So, if your car is a 8v it is VERY rare indeed!

It is a run out model i.e. the last of the line, not sure but maybe a very few 8v came like this to try and sell the last of them. Has electric windows, front and back diskbrakes, power steering and central locking as well

As I said, very rare indeed!

Hi There

Only bought my 16v last week and although i have owned many over a 15 year period i have never seen one in this colour, i have literally just been outside to check the paint colour in the boot (after reading some of the posts about the colour)  as i was unsure if mine was blue or black or grey and it matches the paint code on here for Blau Schwarz, the colour is rare as mentioned above but mainly on the valvers which mine is, if yours is an 8v you have probably found a rare thing, top find mate, enjoy....

I've just checked my paint code; L52M which is Schwarzblau not blau schwarz (I thought it rung a bell but i had the blau and the schwarz the wrong way round!)
