I have one of those 'Icey Blue' Sciroccos. Sorry to say that it was down to
a dull, melted silver by the time I got ahold of it. SInce I could be wrong
and VW has many, many colors- Maybe mine wasn't "Icey Blue' after all. Now,
I don't have a 'S' but if you go in the rear hatch area, ah. Such
beautiful, rich, blueish silver color. Oh.  Uh, <cough>. Sorry. 

So, does anybody have access to factory paint code decoder ring info? I
remmeber a thread that mentioned swapping indicated paint codes to get the
right color.

I've been looking to repaint in a factory gun metal grey, ( kinda like the
Foxes had. At least it's a VW color. Shaaaawwwn. )

Funny thing is that the engine bay has tinted the color a golden, brownish
color.
