GOLF R Rising Blue.. How does it looks?

[RickyJCW]

When I bought the Golf R Rising Blue I always had the idea, that the car that I was buying was exactly as the one seen in Frankfurt...



But day after day the pictures that I find make me doubt about this colour..



How does it really looks??, I know some of you have seen it in UK, could you please help me out?.. I don´t have to much time left to change it.

Different lighting, different cameras, different photo results. The Scirocco R I've seen looks to be between the two. Well, when it's overcast anyway. But it was darker than the Deep Blue Pearl R32 parked next to it.

There's one in the Warrington Dealer if you're local to Cheshire.
It's in the show room, first car on the right as you go inside.

Nice colour. If I was to buy an R it would be Rising Blue or white (with black rims).  But I pref the GTI.

However.... it did get me thinking should have I gone for the GTI on order in the rising blue and not Black.  I always liked the blue R32's, thought they looked stunning.

Think you've done a good call on the colour.

The photos in Frankfurt look great, but are not realistic!  Its a motor show where the cars are polished up to the max, and then put under heaps of specially placed spot lights to make it look as good as it can. 
I've got a couple of Scirocco's (not R's) in rising blue live near me, and I can tell you that I agree with mac7 in that it looks somewhere between the two photos in real life... but more like the second one.

If you look at the thread about Shadow Blue - you can see the difference in colour when the sun is out, and when its dull.  Its the same with Rising Blue!

Just find a Mk5 R32 in Deep Blue Pearl. Rising Blue on the Mk6 R is almost identical to that.

That second pic looks very light, probably due to the light coloured buildings though.

Do you have to Spec the black headlights, they look much better. I've seen a few pics with them but all the cars at dealers have the chrome effect.

I'd put money on the showroom car having a different colour. Couldn't it be one of the german only colours?

E.g. Deep Blue Perleffekt

If I paid £2000 extra for that paint job though, I'd be too nervous to take the car out anywhere!

Just had a fiddle in Photoshop and those two colours are completely different.

Had a look on VW Deutsche and The top one is either Deep Blue Pearl or Inky Blue Pearl

Ha Ha Ha.. Nobody knows how is it!!, If any of you had a dealer with one of them, some pictures would help everyone. I don´t one see the car the day that I get it and say sh!t!, son´t like it at all!!

How can photoshop tell you the original car's colours are different when it's only looking at an image? The photos were taken under completely different lighting conditions and judging by the quality of the images very different cameras.

As said, it's a little darker than deep blue pearl and not as vivid, if that makes sense. Unfortunately taking more photos won't tell you any more than you already know - although there are lots to look at in this forum if you search the various Golf R threads.
