Skajme Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Noticed this on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Lupo-GTi-Laser-Blue-60k-FSH/192922678368?hash=item2ceb167460:g:-BIAAOSw965c4s5L An original laser blue GTI from 2002 is something that doesn't exist though?

Blue Loop Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Could it be a typo? It's a bit weird, Laser blues being later models would have "GTI" writing on the engine cover, which this one doesn't. As well as all silver GTi emblems, having this one a red I in the back.

Skajme Posted May 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Done some sleuthing...and I feel like it's this Lupo... Year and mileage fit, the mats are the same, same blue centre logos and where the bootlid lines up with the rear left light it has the same slight misalignment. It does look laser blue in the pics, so all I can think is, altered photos in the hope of cashing in on the rarity of laser blue? It's very easy to adjust a blue in photoshop Edited May 22, 2019 by Skajme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wikkid911 Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Thanks for spotting this. 🤦♂️ This is my car. I've amended the advert. Just checked and the paint code is LA5W which is Ravenna Blue. The photos have not been photoshopped. That is how the car looks. The badge on the front had a red faded 'i' which was more pink than red so I picked the red sticker off which I felt looked better. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
