Colour blind?
« on: 02 April 2004, 12:29 »
What colour is my golf? I've been calling it helios/helias blue for 2yrs, but have just seen a golf the same colour on the wagen wheels site and they've called it Royal blue..... ???

it's a really dark almost midnight blue metallic, standard VW colour.

Nice one. Cheers overseer, gotta say I love how quickly I get answers to my questions on this site. you guys are v. helpful, and dead easy going!

Cheers mate  ;D

couldn't help noticing this comment on the thread you linked to....

"Another thing which I find very disconcerting, is that NONE of the moderator's have even bothered to participate in the thread. It's been up a week, so you can't say you've missed it. Cheers."  

 :o :o :o

sounds like handbags at dawn in clubgti world......think that's why I prefer this site, feels more like a bunch of people who love sharing golfs than primadonnas wanting to be the most knowledgeable about them.....
