What Colour A2's Have you Owned?

Have two A2s

Mauritius Blue and Dolphin Grey. Both lovely but of all the standard colours the A2 came in Mauritius Blue is the best and most contempory in my view in showing off the shape of the car.
 
Silver (1.4 petrol, actually my wife's A2)
Dark Blue (current at the top of the high mileage leader board)
Solid Black (1.4 petrol bought it to 'save it' and went to its new owners a few months ago)
Silver (TDI with open sky - my keeper A2)

I liked the solid black, but it look dirty 10 mins after it was washed and polished, the dark blue looks really nice when it is polished up and stays looking clean for a fair time and looks real nice with its gun metal grey alloys, but I must admit to the silver being my next to favourite best colour, my personal favourite colour to the dolphin grey

I had to re paint the front and back bumpers on my Silver TDI (as the previous owner had not been the most careful) so whilst I was at it also painted the black bottoms of the bumpers (so all is not silver), then also painted the sill covers silver and the door bottom rubber strips, so I now have a more modern looking all silver A2 where the silver starts at the very bottom of the car and goes to the roof line uninterrupted, the roof being black glass

First A2.............Silver, (still got)
Second A2........Mauritius Blue..(now being broken due to some daft bint running a red light)
Third A2...........Pine green.

Pine green is a fantastic colour but hard to keep looking good.
Silver.......looks good even when dusty.

If the pine green one is causing you trouble keeping it clean I'll gladly buy it from you.

In all seriousness, keep me in mind if you ever do wish to sell that car.

Thanks Steve, They were a labour of love and took a full weekend to refurb in order to get to the current condition.
I do think they suit the 'silver dream machine' as it is now known

Only the front fogs to retro fit and the outside is all complete, less the plastic chrome strip on the rear bumper which needs replacing next time you get a mint on in please let me know
Then the dash to change for 2Din

getting there !!!

I won't count the ones that I was "rescuing" only the ones that I have classed as MY A2s.

In the past
Silver
Solid Black
Metallic Black
White (was silver - The project)
White (was red - the current A2)
Crystal blue
Red
Dolphin grey

Currently in the immediate family
Wife's Dolphin Grey
Daughter's Dolphin grey
Son's Black
Son's Azure blue
His wife's Silver
Grandson's Red one


Favourite colour out of this list is a tie, black with shiny alloys just ahead of white
But a standard and clean Dolphin Grey does look quite "classy"
