Which colour?
Whats the best factory colour for a mk1 Scirocco the car was originally Ibiza red but this may change, I like Viper green but should I go for the earlier Palma green as its more in keeping with the year of the car???

Re: Which colour?
understand that you may have the only 74 in the country? if so, keep it the original colour it rolled from the factory with -you'll regret it later if you change it.

Ive just noticed that '74 Scirocco's shared paint colours with the Porsche 914 which was also built at Karmann by '75 VW had there own colours . The tartan trim had also changed slightly

I vote for keeping it original colour...

Being drawn towards painting it a '74 colour, Palma Green which was also Porsche 914 colour.
