I may get some abuse from mk2 owners< But i think royal blue is rarer and nicer than oak green. :grin:
-
I originally wanted an Oak Green, glad i got Royal Blue.
I imagine it's rarer too... :laugh:

Lots of people confuse royal blue with helios blue. Royal bluem has only been used since 1990 on big bumper mk2's. (I think). Oak green since 1987 Ereg. Bring it on royal blue best colour for mk2 in my opinion. :smiley: Met black next.
-
yea I thought mine was Helios Blue for a long time, this is how it was advertised you see.
-
mine from the summer
now sporting a big f**k off scratch down the passenger side where some little sh!t kindly relieved my car of paint.
bodyshop after xmas.

Nice car mate, very clean
How much you lowered her by?
-
she is lowered 35mm all round on koni springs. previous owner said it was a full kit.
further investigation has revealed it isn't. it's just springs. it still rides ok though but puts a lot of pressure on the top mounts.
a full koni set up will be purchased after the bodywork is done.
-
might be worth getting some G60 top mounts.
looks quite low for -35mm :cool:
-
this colour aint that rare. nor is oak green. take a look in the classifieds on say pistonheads.. then try to find a pic of a 'calypso green' GTi, now thats rare
-
might be worth getting some G60 top mounts.
looks quite low for -35mm :cool:
are the g60 top mounts harder wearing then? could it be worth get poly top mounts or will the ride be stiff as fook?
previous owner told me it was 35mm but it may be more. it does catch occasionally when leaving steep driveways.
-
yea apparently so, they are the list for me 2 buy in the near future. not really sure about poly ones though never experienced them. :undecided:
-

Maybe, but the colour is absolutely hideous !

exactly, its rare because no f**k*r bought it!!
-
amen to that ^^^^
-
other wise this would be the "calypso green appreciation thead (even though I havnt got it because its gash)"
-
haha its a super gash colour imo. but lets not go there each to there own at the end of the day.
-
Royal blue is one of the rare colours, not the most rare however, but still hard to come by! As said it was only available from 90 onwards so only 2 years availbility. Anyone who says its not rare should try looking for panels! :grin:
3 Latest pics, 1st one is after a nice wash, 2nd is after lowering and 3rd is with my TSW Omegas fitted :cool:

I like the colour...needs a good polish to get the best out of it though.
-
spend a good few hours polishing and waxing and it comes up fantastic, especially when the sun hits it, it shines in a kinda pearlecent colour of green and purples i love it.
im hopefully going to get mine re sprayed at some point next year because there are a few bits here and there that are doing my head in and i want it perfect.
-
i like them wheels rubjohnny :cool:
Yeah TSW Omegas, its taken me longer to find a set than it did RBM panels! Very rare wheel, and IMO the only decent ones TSW ever made :cool:
-
i think you're prob right there rubjohnny, nice wheel, hasnt ...joe just bought himself a set too?
on my old mot's i was routing through the other day i noticed that one MOT place thought it was purple.

I am really staggererd at how much interest this thread has generated, but then again just look at the pics !!! :laugh: :laugh:
-
ROYAL BLUE RULES!!! :smiley: Hey adam_c , you said you were thinkin about a re-spray? is it possible to get a re-spray in the original "royal blue" colour then? how much would that set you back then? i bet it aint cheap! worth it tho :cool:
-
My recently sold royal blue 8v turbo:

Stunning colour imo (despite my G/f constantly reffering to it as black!! :angry:)
:cool:
-
i think you're prob right there rubjohnny, nice wheel, hasnt ...joe just bought himself a set too?
yes i have and .....
Yeah TSW Omegas, its taken me longer to find a set than it did RBM panels! Very rare wheel, and IMO the only decent ones TSW ever made :cool:
... you'll be gutted when i tell you what i paid for them! have you got the centre caps too?
-
have you finished painting them yet joe?
-
almost, been so busy! they'll hopefully be on by the weekend, got to do some tyre swapping first... theres a pic in my project section of one of them.
-
ah coo,l , I will have a look.
have you just put that there, i am sure there wasnt a pic of them yesterday :undecided:
-
yeah put it up recently. they're nothing special i didn't even bother getting rid of the curbing! if i decide i like them i'll re-furb them properly next year.... or sell them and buy something else like i seem to do :huh:
-
quite literally a WHEELer dealer.
-
taxi for one!
sorry... anyway back to the blue thread!! i might have to start a black car thread :P royal blue is lush though and a bit more interesting that plain old black!
-
... you'll be gutted when i tell you what i paid for them! have you got the centre caps too?
Go on then :grin:
Yeah I've got caps for mine, but the rear ones wont fit on because the dust cap for the rear wheel bearing sticks out too far. I've just bought a set of spacers to remidy the problem though :cool:
-
^^ ahh good lad, they look alot better with the caps on!
-
BUMP! :smiley:
