key:

The
colors are broken down based on the third digit in
their codes:
|
1 = Yellow
2 =
(other)
3 = Red
4 = Violet
5 = Blue |
6 = Green
7 = Gray & Silver
8 = Brown
9 =
Black
0 =
White |
Therefore,
a color that appears blue, for example, may be listed with the greens.
Those codes with two numbers are carry-overs from decades prior to the
'80s; the code break-down does not apply to them. |
|
| What
is the rarest Cabriolet color? |
| While there are colors that
exist for only one model (Wolfsburg Edition, Etienne Aigner), these colors
existed for several hundred, if not several thousand, Cabriolets. As you
can see in the table, there is one color for which a paint code cannot be
located: "firnblau", making this the rarest of Cabriolet colors (this color,
along with Almond Beige, was used on end-of-year "special edition" Golf
Cabriolets in Germany in 1984). It should be noted, however, that a "firnblau"
was used Karmann Ghias for a short time; but if color samples are any
indication, the Ghia version doesn't quite match. The Golf Cabriolet "firnblau"
is very close to the Golf/Rabbit Lago Blue. |
| Where
do I find the paint code?
|
| On a sticker in the engine
bay, on the driver's door jamb and/or on the main factory "build sheet"
sticker on the cross-bar in the trunk:
If your Cabriolet does not have
any of these stickers, cross-reference your car's paint color with the
Models Pages and/or
Paint Codes page (if your Cabriolet has been repainted in a different
color, look in hidden areas for the original paint color, such as the trunk,
firewall, under the rear seat, etc.). |
