It's devo a laser.... I've got one. It's not an option now though.
-
thats not laser blue, i had one, that is deep blue from the R32. import car as per reg plate, where deep blue can be spec'd, uk dealers cant order laser blue, also laser blue was last produced in uk on 55 reg cars not 06. :smug:
-
a car could sit and not be registered until way after the 55 plate, so in theory it could be on an 08 plate
-
told you!!!! :nerd:
-
. That car is an import, from motorworld., Uk dealers cant sell or spec a GTi in that colour. So chances are reg is correct. highly unlikely its laser cus it was fazed out by the end of 2005 when the 1st R32 mk 5's were released. Its weird that Vw dealers cant order Deep blue, but importers can, even still available to order now.
-
do you know this car phil ?, if not how can you tell its an import ?
-
its from Motorworld, they are importers, look at the reg plate closely
-
i have, i thought motorworld coop was a proper VW dealer ?, i looked at an ed30 there (on web)

-
it can only be 182, like i said before, dealers cannot order Deep Blue in a GTi, its unavailable.

i thought a few years back it could be specced in uk
-
no, because laser blue was the only available tilll end of 2005, AGAIN deep blue has NEVER been available on a GTi from a UK dealer, even before the Mk 5 R32 was intruduced with this NEW DEEP BLUE, and laser was ended at the same time 55plate approx

My car looks like the first photo.. then after in other light it looks like the 182_blue photo??
mines laserblue.. i have seen a softer blue around :undecided: :huh:
-
the orgonal photo has been edited by photoshop, look at the colours around it, its been tampered with, brightness has been increased

Well. You could alway get a pic of the inside? There was a change from 05 or 06 with the CD player outline being silver not grey. That would tell.
Or ask the original owner if he got a manual with the car?
But that can only be a import. They stopped making laser blue in 2006 here in South Africa and as Phil said. You cannot order a GTi in that colour. Look at this thread and the colour of doc's R32. They exact.
If you want to see if the file is shopped save it and compare the file to another file with the same resolution. Thats the easiest way to see if its Shopped. The one while will be much larger in size.
Here is the R32 thread:

Where is the Doc? I remember him hinting about getting another GTi. Surprised he didnt get a ED30?
