'56' GTI Windscreen Repair, is it green or blue tint?

[nerdy4tw]

Called Autoglass to repair this, they asked if it was blue or green tint and I'm finding it hard to decide which it is.

To me it's somewhere in between, so I can't really say 100% either way.

Thought I'd ask the experts.

What model year is it?

Pretty sure that upto 2006 it was blue an from September 2006 it was green.

Registered 04/12/2006, I said green when they asked on the phone but one of my mates had a look at the photos and he seemed to think it was blue.

Can Gavin not fix that with his special resin?   


Hard call on the colour. I'd lean towards blue myself.

Called VW and gave them the reg, they said it's green.

Guess I'll need to wait till Autoglass bring it out tomorrow and see them side by side, they said they'd swap it for blue if it's not right, just means I'd need to wait for it to be ordered.

You are right on the fine margin of the date it changed from blue to green.

To be honest it makes no odds, as long as you like the way it looks. Mine is blue but to be honest it could pink, I cant really see much difference.

How the foooooooook did that happen?.

[nerdy4tw]

Not entirely sure, parked it overnight in town and found it like that in the morning, there wasn't anything lying around it so I'm not sure what happened, assuming someone smacked it with something though.

Looks like somebody fell on it from a great hight???.

Nah, not enough blood. Not that I would know . . .
