"LC4T - Twilight violet pearl effect" Is my paint, and it came up as that on the Dealer computer, so i would say its a VW colour, but i think it might of been limited? Havnt seen anyone else quoting this colour...... :/ Seen it on 1 corrado though! and that was american.

I have the myystic blue duffa colour, some days the car is blue other days its purple, sometimes you get both and at night time its a kinda blacky bluey purply, its not really sure what it wants to be.

I like this, keeps ya guessing.

Are you going to get the front de-badged panel painted? Would look more complete, some nice crystal front lights would set that off a treat.

My bro's got this and it's in the paintshop at the moment getting a full respray coz somebody scratched it down the drivers side...so we decided we'll get the whole car done rather than touch a few bits and bats up.

It's Midnight Twillight something or other.  Lovely colour in the flesh.

His wheels are a bit kerbed, so we're thinking of getting the rim outers (the outer edge of the rim - goes all the way into the inside where the spokes meet) done in a deep glossy black.

I know people normally do it the other way round i.e. black inner with a metallic outer.. so not sure how it will look...

Anyone ever seen that before i.e. black edge and silver inner?

purple is sh!te! Mystic Blue is THE only colour!

Your lights are blue, and they stand out like a sore thumb from the car, therefor, the car is not blue, but infact, purple!
Title: Re: Why mk3s came in purple....
Post by: Len on 29 February 2008, 12:32
Only looks a bit purple in certain light! Otherwise its BLUE!

They called it Mystic because of the slight colour change!
having seen the paint its got 3 or 4 base colours in!

Mike - its meant to stand out! I wouldnt have chosen gold wheels either if I wanted it to be a dull car!
