Title: Isaac Blue
Post by: FifthEarl on 09 March 2018, 14:52
Just giving my two pence worth on Isaac Blue. Was locked in total despair choosing between isaac and indium on my 2018 GTD. Ordered isaac but at the last minute tried to change to indium as I thought it was the safer option but spec was locked. How glad I was too as isaac is an absolute banging colour and I'm totally chuffed to bits with it. I also thought the 90% tints would be a mistake too as I would look like a bad ass drug dealer but I was wrong again, suits the colour down to a tee. Moral of the story is trust your gut feelings! Looks slightly dark greyish on a dull day but classy blue tint in the sun. Does not do it any justice whatsoever on net pictures (I should know as I trawled the net for eons) but in the flesh it's absolutely stunning. Only my opinion but hopefully might be of use to someone spun out on isaac like myself. Btw when I collected car mine was in the showroom next to an indium r estate and what a disappointing colour compared to issac, maybe showroom lights but struck me as dull and plain so I ended up leaving the place buzzing.

Good for you  :smiley:

I was struggling to decide between Isaac Blue and Indium Grey for months. In the end I settled on Tungsten Silver  :laugh:

You need to use a photo hosting service like Postimages.org or Flickr and use the “hotlink for forums”  option for example if you use postimages 👍
.....Mongo  :grin:

Looks fantastic FifthEarl. In your picture, Isaac Blue looks very similar to Carbon Grey (sadly, discontinued) which was my favourite colour for the GTI and GTD.

Thanks SRGTD and like Maxie pointed out it varies in colour depending on light.
Carbon Grey would’ve been my ideal choice, though reckon this is almost on par as far as nice colours go.

Agree, and both Carbon Grey and Isaac Blue are exclusive to the GTI and GTD models.

Btw my gtd now has 200miles on her and went for 30min drive other night got home and idling on 1100rpm. Due to snow haven't driven for two days so just started her and idling on 1100rpm again. Left her running for 10min  but didn't budge. Is this normal? Cheers
