nauticlus blue or green

Post by joe cavalier sri »

why is it that no matter what colour i look at a cav i find myself drawn to the nauticlus blue but is green to me and the body work always seems to be in very good condition in this colour is it cos the paint is better ? :scratch

Gotta agree nautilus blue looks amazing with very little work, it has to be one of my favourite colours for a car.

Tcut is polish and the coloured Tcut contains fillers that mask scratches/scuffs but doesn't last too long before it needs reapplied :thumb

I've got me a diesel in... some kind of blue. 24L, whatever that is. Never managed to actually get a straight answer as to what kind of blue it is, but I really want to know as I'd like to get the thing bodywork sorted and re-sprayed.

VauxhallGirl, how knowlegable are you on the 1.7TD Isuzu lump?
