Whats the nicest mk1 Blue colour ?

Im looking for blue colours to spray my mk1 diesel in the summer.
Since its blue already ,just want to know what is the best  OEM non metallic  colour in the VAG or porche colour range to spray my car in .
Originally my car was this poop blue .

  

Please help me choose and pics would be a great help .

Yeah, mine is faded paint, and the picture was taken indoors at night. Not the best way to show a colour, I admit, but I still think it was the funkiest of mk1 blues.


***edit*** Just noticed that the above is a respray, not og paint, although this does show it to be nearly that bright.

You may have a point ,but my original colour is not a mile off .

I think the Miami blue should transend well on to a 80's car (i hope).

Was also gonna go with s2 black chrome bumpers and chrome side trim ,]
and chrome surroud  single headlight grille .

Should help the Miami blue look right on a 80's car .
