What colour is my car?

[Jgould]

Went to ace cafe last night met Neil aka w3sty who has a Ming blue s3
Now my 2000w reg is blue and I was told it was Ming blue,
but it's nothing like w3sty's have a look at my profile pic and let me know what u think

 

[aragorn]

Why dont you look at the color code in the service book or boot sticker?

 

[Jgould]

Would have to empty the boot and my book is somewhere in a box as I have still not unpacked from moving
I'm a bit unmotivated

 

[aragorn]

Become motivated then. Your asking us to guess the color of your car from a 1 inch thumbnail...

 

[ja3mie]

says on a little white sticker in spare wheel well (paper sticker)

 

[Jgould]

[Prawn]

From your profile pic it looks Ming blue to me.

Thanks cookstein

Looks like what I suggested above, Santorin Blue (S4 colour).

 

[Westy]

It's definitely a lot lighter than my ming blue. Maybe Audi changed the paint code later on?

:sign_welcome:

It does appear that way. I'd not even heard of that colour in 2 and a half years until this morning

 

[Jgould]

I've only seen 2 and 1 of them is the 1 I own lol a few a3's going round the same colour. When it's all clean it looks really nice

 

[superkarl]

I saw one that colour at Ten of The Best last year. I liked it...... But its no minger

 

[Jgould]

Allllways on the prowl Hehe

 

[S3 Daniel]

HAHA i'll be watching in my mirrors!

Gould i got mine from luton but funnily enough the owner before me appears to be from maidenhead, i'm trying to trace through the service history to see when the haldex service was done as i cant seem to find it anywhere. know any local places to go for this?

and by the way on the original sales invoice for my car it says azure blue pearl, but the colour code says santorin blue, i imagine its the same thing.
