I have to agree that colours a bit of me, the wheels look very dated with that colour though  :sick:

True but i like our cars blue too. If i was ordering again for example an R it would still be my choice i have not had so many positive out of the blue compliments ever on a cars colour in over 20 years of different cars (When people see it in the flesh not photos).
Just yesterday i was parked next to a rising blue on a nice sunny day and got lots of complements all day long from the lasses about how lovley my cars colour is. 'best colour' 'gorgeous colour' 'Love the colour of your car' etc etc :evil: VW even parked mine on there prime pitch spot at the dealers earlier in the week(bit cheaky that really but who can blaim them :grin: :cool:)
