Dan_Turism0 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hi guys, Having a bit of a chat with Alex about what colour this is and can't work it out, it looks like 199 Alpine Silver but it almost has a hint of pearl in or maybe it's just very very clean? Were there 2 revisions of Alpine Silver (I don't mean 1B9 Quicksilver) https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/860731_485365734860748_935943627_o.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/859018_485365728194082_405561_o.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/859006_494330930630895_1840754650_o.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/882398_498268740237114_948855900_o.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/892324_497492833648038_1147568177_o.jpg D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Could be a non-standard colour VW reflex silver is a shiny silver colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Could be a non-standard colour VW reflex silver is a shiny silver colour Yeah I was wondering if it was a custom silver it's stunning whatever it is lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Looks like the standard silver that's had a mop, combined with some post picture light/contrast tweaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Looks like the standard silver that's had a mop, combined with some post picture light/contrast tweaks. Yeah this. 199 silver that's been looked after polished and waxed can look really good like that under the right light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Absolutely (no colour/light correction): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 well this has just changed my whole standpoint on 199 thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I would agree and say thats 199 silver thats been polished. Certain lights in some of the pics and the flash from the camera in another helps to bring out a pearl that it has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 199 Silver can look awesome if its been looked after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 199 Silver can look awesome if its been looked after So i see , just seems to be the most common colour and most have not been looked after and it just looks flat lol, this is making me think though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 The best stuff I found was white diamond poor boys polish and then a good quality canuba wax to seal it. I had never seen my car looking so good. In the sunlight it looked amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
