Title: Fjord blue door???
Post by: NRedders on 16 July 2011, 14:28

Ok heres one for you, i have a LR5V 1997 Gti 3 door, i needed a new door which i managed to track down on ebay, got it yesterday and it doesnt seem the right colour, its pretty close but the door seems to be more metallic whereas mine is a pretty flat colour. Any ideas?? Is pacific blue and fjord blue the same?
Admittedly the door is from an earlier car, not sure on model.

CONFUSED  :huh:

Yeah minesw fjord blue it looks alittle darker in the images than it actually is. One of my doors is actually a slightly different colour to the car, looks like it could have been replaced at some stage but its alright you can't really notice it.

How bad is the colour match? photos?

Oh yeah now you've made more than 10 posts you might get a pm or 2 off me - just ignore it unless you ever want to go ahead, haha :wink:
