i assume its Blue Marlin Pearl?
i don't know it's hard to tell for sure from the pictures it's one of the 2 though. From what i've seen Blue Marlin seems to have more of what i'd call a blue grey color to it. nice color and looking ride either way.

parker and i were talking about this Via text....he says blue marlin was only from 2003-2004 so doubtful thats it...

im leaning towards a respray, i dunno i guess it could be a SBM but in that shaded area it just doesnt look like SBM

Hi, yeah sure, once I get a camera. I just split up with my partner and she took all the good cameras ...

in the log book its says "Saphire Blue" So I guess thats what you guys mean about SBM!?

Ah man, I thought electric antenna's was a yank think, like toyota put it on for the US market, but guess I was wrong

@ the guy from Germany, They are a steal here bacause Petrol/Gas is £1.40 litre average

Glad you guys are liking the car though, cheers

thanks for the color clarification and HA guys i was right its NOT SBM

SBM is spectra blue mica which IMHO is the best OEM color for the GS
