Helios Blue.

Absolutely gorgeous colour when the sun hits it. Oscillates between purple, blue and green.
Title: Re: most desirable mk 2 colour (factory colours released only please)
Post by: tony_ack on 09 November 2010, 22:31
Is it just me, or does the MK2 do blue really well?

Monza blue on a series 1 - divine
Helios Blue Campaign, beautiful colour
Bright blue metallic, what a shame they didn't do them in 16v
Royal Blue, nice hint of green in the sunlight
Schwartz-blau, not seen one in the flesh, but look nice in the pics

And, one of the rarest on a GTI and underrated:
Medium Blue, especially on a big bumper GTI, like this:

just to update the car was originally a small bumper d reg in alpine white. like the idea of monza or royal blue but didnt these come out at the end of the mk 2 production?. my boss likes jada green to, as i think it was an early mk2 production colour.

DANG!!  hard choices here, just 3? :tongue:

Favourite is the car on my drive, Monza valver (wish it was a type 19 though)
Jade is awesome.
Royal blue, loved that car :cry:

Black rocks as does Atlas grey and BBM

Arrrghhhhhhh knew it would be hard.  Easier if you picked a base colour say blue or green etc and asked on the shade of colour maybe

You dont see many silver cars, contrasts really well with the black trim. Although a very boring colour on most cars!

White paint on black bumpers look the best.
Then the early silver.
Not a fan of complete colour coding bumpers. Keep your black trim black.

Monza blue was optional on 87 (quaterlights) and 88 small bumper cars, so D, E and early F plate. I only recall seeing it on 16V's though.

Helios blue is my favourite, closely followed by Monza and Bright blues.

yes mate nice one Ld5y what a colour if it came out on 8 valves could be my choice unless i can track down jade green but it does not look good and i only like getting paint mixed if i have a can of vw original  paint ( only way to get factory colours  properly). thanks again mate.

As others have said Monza blue was available from the start of 16v production for 2 years (so roughly 86 to 88) as a special order on 16v's only.
