    Ok, my car is booked in to be painted this weekend. I need to pick a colour ASAP.

    These are the only two I have in mind atm

    Or

    Problem with the Scirocco blue is when I look at the fathers car sometimes it looks a bit purple, and the 206 is a tad too bright, I think.

    If I could get something in between, maybe a little darker/deeper/bluey than the Peugeot.

    Sciroco blue would be my taste...but then again my yoke is 'Cosmos Blue' which has a taste of purple.

    The speed blue on the leons is like what you get on the S3. Much nicer that the vrs race blue IMO.

    No, too dark altogether!

    This is nice, looks a bit flat though?

    Same as the Leons that colour. Well used on the Audi's though. I'd go with that...

    I'm sure Owen will know for sure the paint code.

    I think a nice beige colour would suit it LM...:p

    A nice deep red would look really good, but so would the blue..:D

    I'd love a red too, but the door jams are blue and I'm "cutting costs" my spraying it blue again. I just always hated JAZZ blue on Mk4's, hence why I got a fit and painted it white, lol.

    No offence, but that looks a bit "meh" to me. Perhaps just the picture though. The blue EPM had on the Leon looked well, but I agree, it did look a bit flat on the Audi.

    Not sure of exact name, but what about the blue from the M series's?

    Edit: or matte black. That'd be sweet.

    That's how it looked pre malestation. So that basically, but metallic.

    As good a blue you can yet IMO, A dark metallic FTW

    Jesus... So many blues :O

    That MG blue or the M3 blue

    Something in my sleep put me off the Subaru blue, not sure what though. I'm kinda thinking I was a deeper blue, not something so bright.
