Scirocco Central

The dealdrivers website is reporting that from 3rd May 2010 production, Opal Silver is replaced by Silver Leaf, Shadow Blue is replaced by Night Blue, and Pewter Grey is replaced by Iridium Grey.

I've seen this mentioned on a German forum too, so it sounds like there is something in it. Does anyone know what these other colours are like? Are they already on other VW cars?

Sounds like they are just going to be slight variations on the existing colours. I can't see any of these adding anything exciting to the colour range

I know that the Silver Leaf can be found on the Golf 6 and Passat cc. Looks a lot like Opal Silver. Don't know about the rest.

i know there is problems with the silver paint as had probs on my rocco and family had probs on different variants , blemishes,flaking etc

Night blue is a colour used by Audi on the A8 in the us,iridium or is it indium grey/silver is a mercedes colour&silver leaf is vw,used on passat cc. why will they not use the firespark red&maybe a nice deep charcoal grey.I also think the golf shark blue would be a good colour on the roc? Night blue is a very deep blackish-blue i think,a good colour for the roc.

Indium Grey is nice. Glad I didn't wait for Midnight blue ...

Hi, I've just found actual photos of the new colour "Night Blue" which will be available from the 22.03.10. The photos are of the new VW Touareg which are pictured in the colour Night Blue. It looks good :o)

I've ordered Night Blue and I'm glad I did now after seeing an actual photo of it. Here's a photo of the new VW Touareg which is in Night Blue. It looks really good

I found changes between colors in configurators. I used Russian and German. In my country(Russia) config hasn't been changed yet, so I took screenshots.

Old / New color

Shadow Blue / Night Blue


Opal Silver / Silver Leaf


Pewter Grey / Iridium Grey

Good work that Shum. Seeing the old and the new colours side by side is the best way of showing the differences. Even though the screen colours are a bit misleading at times.

i ordered a scirocco in pewter grey on Monday. Just been told the colour has changed to indium. Has anyone seen a colour card in the flesh at a dealers? if so are the old and new colours more or less the same. worried about ordering a colour i havent seen. Its that or change to night blue.

Hi

Is this Indium Grey?

I don't think so kjellis it looks like a custom paintjob imo, indium grey looks like pewter grey.

also looking at the interior photos from the site it looks like an MY2009 so well before indium grey has become available on the scirocco

Hi Trix.

Thanks...

It is very like Merscedes Indium Grey. Is in it?

yes as far as I'm aware but I have not seen a paint sample or car in the exact colour yet so am going on the pictures I have found & posted previously

I have just spoke with my dealer... He says also that Indium VW is not like MB Indium. Is more like Peter grey/ Berylium grey.

Now I`m not so afraid I have order wrong coulor.

Thanks Trix.
