 it could be helious blue not sure of the code, but it will be on your details plate under the bonnet .write them all down and take it to an auto paint shop and ask them they should be able to get the right match.

Helious Blue= LA5Y paint code. More than likely that is what you have. Email me at bgodkin@fireflyuk.net and I will send a pic of my car to you. I can't get my webspace figured out so hopefully that will help.

Take care,

Helios is the blue/purple metallic

mine is Blue/Black - I guess Royal Blue - and it causes confusion:

my HPI check states my car was resprayed from black to blue sometime in the 90's - but the paint under the underseal and the label inside the boot shows my car is the same colour as it left Wolfsburg.

I thought the lighter blue was called Windsor Blue.

But don't quote me on that



BTW - the car below in my sig is Helios Blue - my first valve  :'( RIP
