Here (I hope) is a jpeg of my 98 Wagon. Had a few conflicting reports about the colour. Is it Sonic or is it Reddish Blue. I'll leave it to the experts.

My 98MY (R-Reg) was "Reddish Blue" and if my memory serves me correctly, it was the only blue available that year!

Cool

Dickie,

If its a UK sourced car, its Reddish Blue. EU imports were available in Sonic Blue but not sure if it was an available colour on the MY98 vintage!!!!

No need to reduce picture size...

1. Make sure your original pic is good quality
2. Prior to saving as a JPEG go into the "jpeg compression settings" and adjust to something like 50%
