Here's a pic of my Scirocco, not sure of the color, it was re-sprayed, and the original was Cirrus gray metallic, I've heard reports that the color that you get to match Cirrus is different than what it originally was.  I like it, though I will probably re-spray it something else.

Anyway, a pic of my mk1 in metallic grey for reference:

Any of those colors you picked would look good.

Oh man, you're taking me back - my first car was an 80 Scirocco S.  Yours looks great!  Anyway, Ashley I'd either go for the inaris or the orig. color.  Going orig has the advantage of not having to deal with all of the nightmares of a complete color change (or, if you don't, having a car with a purple exterior and gray doorjambs  :o)

Not on the list, but I did see a new mustang at a Ford dealer in a blue that reminded me of their old engine paint.

Little bit brighter, IMO. But the 'stang looked nice.

If i was going to change colour I'd go for a nice rare colour like dark burgundy pearl aka aubergine LC3U, or if your looking for a good dark grey Pearl Grey LA7U

I'm sorry what?


I'd keep it the original color, but I'm weird like that

In that Body you add one Kick Ass Motor ;D then go look for a couple kids driving a honda lol

thats kinda the look im going for in my 85 GTI. its all beat up and rusty on the exterior, but it has a SUPER CLEAN interior with recaros. what more could you ask for? resonator and catalytic converter are disappearing today. muffler might too if it doesnt fix the exhaust leaks. god i hate leaks.

I like the Fresca Green of the 02/03 VW Passats.  A little darker shade of Inari Silver.
