It used to be a special order colour costing a bit extra...

Yeah, I was asked about special colours when I did a factory order for my first Mk5 GTi. I did't look into it though as it sounded expensive. Have to say though it makes you wish you had when it could be rare and so good looking. Never understood why they stopped Laser Blue either.

Wasnt it a choice on the early GTi's?

I looked at a GTi in this colour, but it was in very poor condition and the VW garage were tw*ts. After pointing out several scratches on the car, they just laughed to themselves and said it was to be expected!

cmdrfire's car is Laser Blue. He's even put pics in the Laser Blue thread

This car looks like Laser Blue to me.

I was looking at that, the dealer has 2 of them and there was another on pistonheads .. it seems they are likely to be imports otherwise i might have considered one of them.

The Pistonheads car is most certainly Laser Blue. Its darker than the top one, even allowing for the extra sunshine on the top car. My wife has a Laser Blue 1.6 so I know the colour well.

the one on pistonheads i saw had xenons and sunroof, not sure on  the colour although it did state dbp.

Tis an Import that one in R32 Blue, special order from importers only.

Benny, CMDRfire has a laser Blue which was only available up to 55 plate, and was discontinued.

I used to own a laser blue also and the O.P's pic, is a different blue.

I'm having my car resprayed Metalic Red ( with the pearl in )


Since my new kit nearly replaces all the existing body pannels, i decided to spend that bit extra 



Looks sweet though - you can see the pearl effect there !!!

Good knowledge Steve! Certainly know your stuff!

I never knew you could get that R32 blue in a GTi.
