Car was available in various different blues--Scuba, Sprint, Petrol, Aruba...possibly Ocean as well, probably others too...

There seems to be a good few members with some type of blue on here, wish I was one of them lol.

Looks like it but lighting, camera settings, and PC settings when viewing make it difficult to tell for sure as it's seemingly very close to Ocean Blue*. You can find your paint code on your options sheet--and you can find that either on the styrofoam under the rear floor cover or in your maintenance manual, should be stuck to the inside cover on that.

*On that note it looks like Mauritius Blue and Ocean Blue are actually the same colour (same paint code), just they call it Ocean over here and Mauritius in Europe--I guess they figure North Americans don't know where/what Mauritius is :LOL:

Here’s my petrol blue with ice blue nappa……had the rims refurb‘d in a graphite black type colour after buying her. Looks different in changing light conditions as it’s pearl metallic…..

Just bought mine 2 weeks ago. Not sure what the color code is but I love it.When the light hits it right there is some purple in it.
If there is a hint of purple your paint is likely Sepang blue. If it is more blue - blue it is likely Scuba blue

I believe your car might be Glacier Blue, so technically that's blue it just doesn't look very "blue" lol. It's more a bluish silver I guess, rather than a blue blue :ROFLMAO:

However I'm not 100% sure on that colour and pictures and monitors can be deceiving. I thought only Mk1s came in Glacier but in different parts of the world things may vary. You need to find the colour code to determine what the actual colour is--it'll be printed on the PR code sticker for the vehicle. From that code you can get the colour name.

If you do a google search for "Audi Glacier Blue" and hit the images tab/button, most of the pictures you'll find are...Mk1 TTs ;)

Here’s mine. Deep Sea Blue Pearl. Lovely colour but needs to be kept clean otherwise it just looks flat.
I think this goes for most darker-coloured pearl coat paints. I once had a Lava Grey car before and wow did it look fantastic when...
1. It was nice and clean.
2. It was a bright sunny day.

Otherwise it just looked like a dirty black car :ROFLMAO: I got 'suckered' into buying it because I wanted a blue one but was too late in the production year to get one. I actually placed a deposit on a red car that the dealer I was at needed to make a dealer-trade for (was at another dealer) and a day later it turned out that one was sold already. So I went in to collect my deposit thinking I'd wait another year and they had a Lava Grey car in the showroom--obviously all detailed and clean and in bright lighting. Looked so awesome! So I said sure I'll take the Lava Grey instead. Little did I know it didn't look nearly as good when not in those two above conditions LOL. It was actually the most popular colour for the car (A3) in Can/US so I wonder how many people got suckered by the "showroom look" of it :p It wasn't terrible, but I'm more a bright colours kind of guy.

I used to worry about posting pics with my plate, but thinking about it logically, if there was anything that can be done with it that would be considered unscrupulous, people would be driving around with them covered up too 🤔

I think the most you could do with a plate number is check MOT history without owners permission…..

Yer, maybe it’s one of those digital myths. Mine came with a private plate. I don’t want to be pestered with people joining the forum just to offer me thousands of pounds for it.

Wouldn’t mind if someone offered me thousands for my private plate as it only cost me £250 plus transfer fees - just my initials SGJ…..

Despite all the legislation about how a number plate should be laid out with fines for a cm out here or there we still seem to ignore it. Every interesting private plate I’ve seen breaks the law.
I suspect even the cops are ok about it simply because it helps them simply because its memorable?
Even bikers that prefer no rear plate at all because it interferes with the amount of rubber on their rear tyre than can be admired get away with tiny plates unless they do a wheelie outside the police station.
