Welcome to another kiwi (We won't mention the rugby :))

Nice car! The wheels make it.

[Lima]

Nice. :cool:

These were called Ventos in Australia. We only got the Jetta nameplate with the Mk5s. Then, to add to the confusion, Mk4s were called Boras.

[rocketscott]

Same names here then its annoyingly confusing eh?

[rocketscott]

Ervywhere i go im told that the wheels look great on the Car i got it for 7k thats not bad considering it had done 110,000 ks when i got and it has ABS and Dual Airbags so many idiots on the road theese days you need saftey features and our hiways are only two lane lol

Haha it's all good mate, I didn't know jack about my car once upon a time ;) There's a sticker located in the boot somewhere (mine's right under the boot lock latch) and there should be a paint code on it - you can look for the paint code HERE (http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newforum/upload/showthread.php?t=5758). Just something interesting to know if you feel like wasting 10 minutes of your life j:

Very snappy ride. I've not seen one of these before. Is it based on the mk3?

Hey Rocketscott ... nice to see another Kiwi here, Mate. Don't worry about the rugby ... we'll get 'em on the home games, eh?

Background of your pic looks like Lyttelton Harbour, yeah? (Another good Cantabrian!)

Nice wheels ... nice ride. Come over to Brissie some time for a winter holiday (get away from that Southerly chill factor).

Cheers,
Dave

the colour looks similar to the original colour of my car LC5L was my paint code from memory. I think its called Mystic blue pearl effect.
Or as all my friends say. Purple. hehe. used to piss me off!

Does your car have a really purple pearl to it in the sun and then at night look a nice deep blue?

Haha... it does look purple :D

That blue looks pretty stunning, and definitely doesn't look like something that came out in the early 90's.
