Hi folks.

Just a quick 1, but are there many owners of the above car on here???

I am the owner of a 99 V Storm Grey GTi 138 and i must say i havn't seen much, if any, in that colour so im thinking its possibly a rare-ish car.

It was the colour that sold it for me tbh.

It's Mercury Grey IIRC.

They aren't very common - I broke one up for parts a long time ago!

Its definetly Storm Grey.Has it on the owners manual, and the local paint suppliers matched the paint up as Storm Grey with a prefect colour match.

Mercury Grey is a facelift colour and is more of a bluey grey.Local scrappies has 1 in which i got the P2 boot strip off and its a different colour.So had to get a spray can made up which confirmed it as Storm Grey.

Not sure on the paint code as i couldn't find it on the car (iirc its supposed to be on the pillar inside the drivers door).

Fife Auto Paints matched it up with the paint cards.

I know I'm a bit late this this thread but I have a Storm Grey 206 too. A ye olde T-reg 1.4 GLX. So, not a GTi but still! It's a great colour, although when it gets dirty it just looks like a dull brown! Definitely have to keep it clean to appreciate the colour. Your one is so damn shiny it looks like a mirror!

I'd agree that it's a rare colour too, In the 2 years since buying my 206 I've noticed 2 other Storm Grey 206's. The second time the guy driving the other 206 was so surprised he was staring at me from across the road!

Anywho, here's my proof! lol A pic of mine.
