Re: MK1 S: should i trade.

["Jason Arms" <redbug64@hotmail.com>]

I think that it is an original color.  there are several scirocco S's in the 
pictrue section of scirocco.org and in other places that show this color on 
mk1 scirocco's.  SO, if it is not original for the S, it must be original 
for vw right?  So far i have only had 2 people respond to this thread, both 
telling me to keep my GLI.  I probably will, but i will take a second look 
at the rocco and all of the info that the guy has for it.
