I can sympathise with you on a choise of colour for your car, they all look nice, its a bit like trying to make a choise between Marilyn Monroe and Anita Ecktberg!
I was hooked on two colours for mine
Turqoise (L380) and
Dove (pidgeon) blue (L31)
I chose Dove blue.
I wanted a more vintage look!

haha yeah its a tough one, I got an email from vw today it reads.
Dear Mr. Fitzgerald,
We sent the birth certificate to you today. Regarding the colour of your Beetle we took a look on the picture you have sent us, however, we are not able to help you because your Volkswagen has no original VW colour. We ask for your understanding.
I really hope they didn't think I thought Purple was an original colour?!! the rims were white oh well, I sent the seat pic to them, final shot 🙂
Blue or torquoise. Does that mean "Grimace" will be getting a WHOLE new identity ie a name change?
Winter is here.........Footy is here........now where is my beer.........
