louis i wouldnt think your car is classed as any sort of red tbh :undecided:
i would narrow it to some of these;
LC3U - dark burgundy pearl effect
LC4T - Twilight Violet
LC4P - Purple Violet Pearl/Mulberry
LC5P - Dusty mauve
LR8V - Nocturne Aubergine

thanx dude i wonder if it is the top one as it realy dose have a pearl effect one min its maroon the next its purple
-
Funnily enough I've never even heard of any of those colours hence why I thought it was Chilli red!!
What doesn't help is the fact it looks two different colours depending on what the light is like lol
-
I would say a definate purple variant.
-
Dont think it's LC3U -

Your car has an identity crisis.
Respray from mullberry to pearlecent mullberry ?

lolit dose dun it lol
how much would a respray cost just a quick coat of mullberry so the car would be one colour do you recon? paint needs touching up anyway so may do that when got some funds :cool:
-
Long shot but here goes, if you pop along to a bodyshop and ask nicely they have paint chips and if they can match it then you will have a paint code and name.

This makes me laugh to be honest..
Mulberry Pearl (LC4P) only came on the VR6 Highline.
So Louis' GTI is definately not Mulberry UNLESS it's been resprayed - But my Highline definately doesn't look Burgandy when the sun goes in!
That LC3U colour above, is called Blackberry Pearl and is only found on Corrados normally.
Although both colours are similar, they are slightly different.. because it used to confuse me too.
If the Jetta that Adam posted up is truly LC3U, then I reckon it's a really dark shade because it's A; Recently been resprayed and hasn't had time to fade, or, B; Has been mixed darker than the original for a one off colour
-
The wheels are off a VR6 or Colour Concept, could be an indication.
-
I think some GTI's just came with those wheels so that VW could get shot of them lol..
You can always tell a genuine Mulberry because they don't have arches or skirts.. and they also have a colour coded rear spoiler.
I think Colour Concepts only come in Black, Red, Green, Yellow and Blue.
I've seen several GTI's in this colour.. although I've never seen them in sunlight so never noticed the purpley colour in them
