[Mk2] [Turbo] Screen colour rev5 turbo

Post by 2tmike »

Does anyone know whether the screen tint should be blue or green on a rev5 turbo? Autoglass insist its green but it looks blue to me !!!

I think you're right about the rev 1&2 cars. This ones a rev5 import. It has the original screen in it and, to be fair the main part does look green but the strip at the top seems blue to me. When Autoglass ordered up a screen against my reg it came as green but with no strip at the top which was not the way I wanted it so they've reordered a green screen with green strip....

I had a blue one in rev 5 and had a built in sun strip at the top ive had a green one in a rev 5 and I thought it would be a good idea to change it to the older bronze one as the car is a bronzish colour and it looks wrong cause the side windows are tinted too. put a white piece of paper against the glass and look through the glass to see what colour it is

That's weird, probably only 2 or 3 beige mica rev 5 turbos in the country and 2 ended up in the south west....that would have been me going past Taunton....with a freshly broken screen !!!! and yes, that was the car you tried...

It was me who bought the champagne gold rev 5 off Rash in Bradford...had it nearly 3 years before selling it, did you buy it off me? sorry can't remember.
Funnily enough just bought another rev5 off Rash last weekend.
