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.

If its a MY2007 then it will be green. Good luck with the replacement. Autoglass replaced my wife's Eos windscreen (a few years ago) and turned up with one of these screens with the purple coating (might be anti reflective?). Anyway had it fitted looked great but the glass had a fault which made the lower half of the screen like looking through glasses. They had to replace it and turned up with another which was just the same so had a std screen fitted. Point is make sure the screen is perfect before they fit it.

Mine is a Feb 2007 registered 56 plate and the glass is green, so yours should be the same.

Edi35 would mine be MY 2006 or 2007? I know it changes around July so I'm assuming MY 2007 started in July 2006?

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.

No other damage? If not, you are the most luckiest unlucky person ever. It would have been nasty if they did that all over  :sick:

Yes yours will be MY2007. I am not 100% sure exactly when the MY start from I assumed around Aug or Sept to coinside with the new reg but that may not be correct.

Also, for the record, my Windscreen SHOULD be green, but it was a blue one on the car when it was smashed, so it had obviously been replaced before.

Got green now, and all the windows match.
