There are a few yellows in this list, isn't it on your Data sticker in the boot?



Imola yellow is LY1C

LY1C is Imola Gelb. And isnt Gelb german for Gold? or am i mistaken?

Anyways! I now have the colour! The code is LD1C or something like that, i've got it in the house (at work atm)
The colour appariately has changed names a few times through its life.

So what i have learned today is the colour concept in yellow is not IMOLA YELLOW! Its some other random yellow VW has re-named or created its self lol

And before anyone says "your car isnt a colour concept". It is. I have checked with VW  :smiley:
