Hi,
Had my mk5 for a few weeks, got round to getting it tidied up and some pics taken.
Was interested in your thoughts on the blue ???? (nothing too harsh please) :smiley:
Normally go for black with cars, I wasn't planning on getting one in blue but I haven't seen many Gti's in blue. I think it's a nice colour, especially close up.
Except for the mf steering wheel and leather, all standard for now.

The blue is ok altought its a little known FACT that black is the fastest colour ;)
Reason you dont see many blue GTIs is because the laser blue was withdrawn from the GTI range after a certain year, cant remember, 06 maybe?
Looks very smart :afro:

thats not laser blue. Laser blue was discontinued but that blue is or was still available for a mk 5 GTi

carl1, your right. I forgot to say it was shadow blue.
The car is an 06 plate
Thinks it's still being used through some of the vw range, certainly was on a new bug in the showroom.
Thanks for your comments

diamond black, blue graphie and blue are the only peal effect paints.
metallics are shadow blue, steel grey and reflex silver.
non-metallic is torado red, ink blue, candy white and black.
i think blue74s GTI is shadow blue, hard to seperate unless u have both shadow and ink blue side by side

I think it's a great looking colour when clean :smiley:
Looks even better than your photos when it's sunny. The flake in the paint really comes alive : :evil: :drool: :drool:

Looks a bit dull when dirt though IMHO

Ohhhh, not heard about that, is there a thread in the shows and event section (I will go and have a look now). Feb is miles away so its impossible for me to plan that far ahead. I will however make and effort to keep that Sunday free, been way too long since I been to The Pod so its a good excuse to come I think.

Good colour blue is :cool:
