Softtop Colour

Postby L.G. » Fri 18.01.2008, 21:09

Hi all,

I've recently bought the renovo kit for my softtop in black. (bad luck now that there's a group buy...) I've just had an oil change and folks there told me they thought it was blue. Several agreed with me and said it was black. Is there a way to check this? Here is a photo of the soft top. (not very well seen though, I am not with the car at the moment can't take any more :()

Can you please comment on the colour? How can I be sure about it?

Thanks,

L.G.

Good to hear some of you have visited Turkey and enjoyed. You drove to China? Wow that should be quite a story...

I am convinced that it's blue, I'll try to sell the black one (can't do that here obviously...) and buy a blue one instead, I may show up on the group buy after all. :)

Loved the food, and saw some great sunsets.

Oh..... and got pissed with Tuguys cousin,

Faded black would look blue under a bright blue sky. I would not like to call it from your photo.
What does it look like under fluorescent light (which has a slight green bias)? If it still looks blue-ish, then it is blue. If it doesn't, then it probably isn't.

Jack,

That's what put me in doubt, it sometimes looks so much like black. That's why I asked if there was a way to check it for sure on the VIN or something. Many say it's blue so I take it as blue but maybe I'll take some clearer pics, post them here and ask you guys to comment once again.

Thanks,
L.G.
