Not sure. My mrs calls it burgundy, but i think it's more maroon.

Very smart little beast is that, would look spot on with a little suspension drop (if you can without the wheels rubbing, that is)

Btw, the colour is indeed indian red.. sounds so much more classy than burgundy, don't you think?

Love that colour,there was a class one very like that with MK4 steels near me for a while but then it disappeared!

Best of luck with it looks mint!

mmm i'm liking that too

great when you've got a car off the road, looks like you've been doing it anyway but if you put some hard work into the cleaning and polishing now, the paintwork will be great by the time you're driving it, have a look at delGT's old polo if you wanna see what hard work with cleaning products can do

p.s have you got alloys on there mate? angles just slightly off to see

cheers 4 the comment on the car but all aint as good as it seems. my brother gave it to me after it being sitting there for ages. it had previously been robbed so all the wireing was ripped out. so i spent all my money at the time (i have a limited supply) getting it going. i wired the stereo leads and ignition and after many long hours in the garage i got the engine going. me being only 15 i couldnt take it out but i drove it around the house. but now the engine has given up on me, the suspension is ruined, the stering is very dodgy(its making a weird noise as you turn), there are dints and scratches all over the body and my neighbours cant stop complaining about the back box on it. but i got the engine working once ill do it again im stripping the car down this summer and fixing it up, hopefully all goes well. i dont have much knowledge on mechanics but i want to learn. (just a bit of history on me and my car for ya)
