When is a White Yeti Blue?

Featured Replies

Recently took delivery of my new MY15 Yeti Outdoor in the new colour Laser White.  Note the White.

 

The Skoda paint code is J3J3.

 

When dealer was registering the car it suddenly became Blue, so Tax Disc and Vehicle Licensing Cert both  had Blue as the colour. 

Had a few discussions with delaer and Skoda Ireland who both confirmed the Yeti is white, except the paint code J3J3 is also known as Arctic Blue

So now my Laser White Yeti is  the colour Blue and a declaration of colour change had to be made to have new Tax Disc and VLC issued in the correct colour.

All seems good and process went well but nobody can answer definitively why White becomes BLue. 

 

Apparently Skoda market Laser White as Arctic Blue in some territories depending on model e.g. Arctic Blue Superb but Laser White Yeti - GO Figure

That is just utterly bizarre!

 

And I bet you are not the only person to have this issue.

I ordered mine as Regency Green (as described in the brochure) but on the order form it showed as Malacite Green. Frantic phone call to the dealer but apparently the same paint it just has a different name depending on which model it is sprayed on! (So presumably the same territorial variations). Must make sense to someone i suppose.

Johann I'm not sure, dealer has sold other J3J3 vehicles but they were apparently white on the VW Ireland (Skoda)  AS/400 system, just mine appeared to buck the trend so had to be registered as blue,

 

Anyway, so much for PDi, I found this stuck under drivers seat, the Factory Production sheet or it's DNA.  Production started at 19:46 on 2 July and came off the line at 15:46 on 3 July.
It was delivered to dealer on 29 July.
