Default Windscreen Glass Colour

Hi,

Sadly the windscreen in my MY98 UK Turbo went this weekend and needs replacing. The RAC say there is a blue or green glass available but im unsure what colour my screen is.

Is there a standard colour on a MY98 UK car, the bodywork is red? I have tried putting a piece of paper behind the glass but im still not sure.

Any help is appreciated

Cheers

Ash

Had the windscreen done on my MY98 Uk car - the glass was green.

The easiest way I found to check was spray water on the side windows, put your face to the edge of the glass and look across the surface, he droplets really pick up the underlying tint. Water drops looked bottle green on mine when I did that.

another way i found of checking what colour the screen is by putting a clean white piece of paper behind the screen and seeing what shade it gives on the paper.
