ive been arguing with mates over this subject for months
so i thought its time to bring an end to it.
i said that i thought it was delphin grey even though
most people tend to think its dolphin grey.
i have no idea as to why this is and i hope im right
please tell me im right

its easy to solve. look at your suspension turret it says Delphin not dolphin and its diamant not diamond, your would say lachs silver rather then salmon silver so why not delphin over dolphin, and they are pronounced BMV not BMW, and there is no such model as a VW beetle is was a Kafer (except modern equivilent) ,and its tomatoe not tamayto so quite a pointless arguement really,

You can't really say "Delpin grey" mate, it's a mixture of English and German.
I think if you'd said "Delphingrau" or whatever the German is you'd have more of a standing in the argument.
You lose I'm afraid
