I don't think there would of been two reds in Australia.

A good read about Australian production is in the book "Volkswagen in Australia, The forgotten story." There are also many photos of Citrus Red Golfs.

lol, im not into reading, i cant sit there and just read a book, i read a bit of it when i was in hospital for a while. Yeh i just assumed that colour is mars red, but now i think back i remember seeing a sticker saying the paint was citrus red ( On the radiator support), someone backed into him and he had to get the front resprayed and there was a sticker saying what colour it is.
