Helios blue was also used on many other years. the 8 valve '89 wolfsburg jetta/golf/cabriolet were star blue metallic LD5T. they had the same diagonal stripes, but the seats were sport seats, not recaros with the huge side bolsters. go to vwvortex cabriolet forum, under the thread "special edition cabby's" and you can see a '89 star blue wolfsburg edition cabriolet w/ the diagonal grey striped seats. chris |
