Chrisl I'm not sure what the code is as the boot sticker is missing…
its much darker than atlas grey hairyarse……
somebody suggested it it could be Schwartz metallic…….I'm not 100% sure what it is yet

Someone will be along with the code soon I'm sure!!
I've not seen Atlas for a long time so wasn't sure how similar or not. It's a cracking colour yours, can't say I've seen one like it. I'm not sure if it was a Pirelli edition colour??

I think the Pirelli edition had colour coded bumpers and arches? It was registered overseas before being brought to the UK….so the colour options may have been different elsewhere……Volkswagen can't tell me 😩

Yes Pirelli edition did have colour coded bumpers and arches - I think! Certainly arches were body colour, can't recall on the bumpers. Take a look in the brochure section, could be one in there.
Just thought it was the same colour as yours

Doesn't look like a Pirelli colour. They were Helios Blue, Lhasa Green, Mars Red and Alpine White.
Bumpers were painted as well as arch spats

Turns out mines not anthracite, but Schwartz metallic (or metallic black) LP9V which was available in Europe only (not just on the 16s)Banshee101 said
Anthracite? What do you guys think? I've never seen another….

Hi
Bit late to the party but looking through some old posts
I had a MK 1 GTi - Y plate 1.8 in Oak Green
Had steel roof, front headlight washers. Imported from
Germany when new - probably worked in army or just sole import. Had all service books in German 😄
Sadly probably scrapped now 😞

Nice colour for a mk1
Shows it was last taxed in 2000 and has no mot history online so guessing it must be gone

Hi One Seven One
Yes I've tried numerous ways to track it down
No one in club knows its whereabouts and DVLA won't contact the previous owner on my behalf due to passage of time.
Sorry I sold it - my brother in law was annoyed at me for selling it at the time - but it went to buy a Helios blue Campaign

Hi
Yes it had headlamp washers, rear seat belt clips.
Think they were options for Germany as was the colour obviously.
A true one off - must have been individually imported as all paperwork I had was in German 😄
I've bought a front bumper with headlamp washers and some other trim bits I knew it had, some time ago. I'm looking for a steel sunroof shell/restoration 1.8 gti project on a Y plate to recreate the car as it's clearly been scrapped some time ago. I'll have it painted in Oak Green and make it an exact copy as I can.
I'm trying to buy the reg number KRO203Y off dvla but enquires ongoing - they may release it sometime - dunno though as not an expert on that stuff.

You e got the bug bad mate but I can understand as I wish I never got rid of my white mk1 golf driver. I got rid of it for a mk2 driver (younger, less miles and diesel) and regretted it a week later and forever more.
Wish you luck piecing this all together.

Yes I'm afraid I have - it would nicely complete my "garage"
Wife might not be too happy but hey ho. It's what I want to do - won't be original but it'll take me back to the late 80's 😄
Having said that - best laid plans of mice & men ……

How can I find what the original colour was? Apparently mines had to 2 colour changes and 22 keepers but would like to find out original colour. TIA

If there's a sticker on the inside rear panel in the boot that will have paint code on, but if car has been repainted already that may have been removed or painted over
