If it's the colour I think you mean (pale met blue, almost purple), it's Reddish Blue.

No, Sonic Blue is Sonic Blue.

If by the "normal blue" you mean the dark metallic blue that was available on the UK market Turbos, it used to be called Dark Blue Mica, and was lightened slightly on the MY00 cars to become Deep Blue Mica.

your car looks like 'sonic blue' to me (same as mine ). dosen't qualify as 'normal' as it was only available in the UK on 'special editions' (P1/22b etc). Other sonic blues are imports (mines Dutch!!) - Oh Yeah, and its the best colour

Really? And how exactly are we supposed to know/care what colour car you've got, or indeed what you refer to as "normal blue"?

This is what i refer to as normal blue lol
Difficult to tell from the photography/lighting, but given the other visual clues that looks most like a Deep Blue Mica model year 2000 UK car. Could be a Sonic Blue Eurospec import, but looks a little too dark to be one of those.

??? Only VERY pale blue I'm aware of is "Ice Blue". That's reserved for the WR1s in the UK. Yeah, a colour that generates very polarised opinions.

Just to throw a spanner in the works...there are 3 versions of the code 74f (mentioned earlier) as featured on the UK Terzo. It is a flip paint that changes from 2 colours of blue...one being reffered to as "Sonic Blue" the other as "Normal Blue"..as seen on many Type RA imports...and the third colour only shows under flurescent lights and is a dark purple.....


I found out when a sprayer asked me which 74F I wanted....confusion time...

I ask the sprayer to keep a little pot just for touch ups...the previous owner used the Halfords one and it looked 1000 x too dark. Could try Scooby main dealer.
