Absolutely HATE the colour of my car as virtually every other F***ing car on the road happens to be silver. Plus you can't see your face in it properly when polished.

I much prefer blue / black/ red / purple  :rolleyes:


Keeping schtum. Mostly.

I alwayscwanted a black mk3. But wanted a good un so got mine as I couldn't turn it down. Have grown to love it over black.

Point is, you will grow to like it. Even though its not the first choice. Good detail will make it awesome. Any colour that is maintained is nice I think

I always thought black was the colour....but with the weather we seem to have most of summer keeping my old black clean and shiney was a nightmare!! Next will be silver (the passat hasn't had a wash in a month and still looks cleaner than the golf did the day after a full clean up!)

and i believe your car is LC4P Purpurviolett pearl (a rare colour mainly used for the highline)

From memory I believe straight or flat black is rarish, I had one and I know when I was trying to find bodyparts I struggled as everything I found was met black.
