If theres one piece of the Volkswagen Jetta GLIs history we all recall, its the little sports sedans Blue Lagoon hue from the mid-2000s. Wait a minute? You dont remember this short-lived GLI color? Dont worry, youre not alone. Even so, VW has introduced this Blue Lagoon Jetta GLI concept as a nod to a past it believes the wider enthusiast community fondly recalls. That said, the Blue Lagoon Jetta GLI concept is an attractive take on the sportiest Jetta trim. Credit the color, as well as exterior bits such as a front lip spoiler, side skirts, and a trunk-mounted lip spoiler. A set of 20-inch BBS C-HR wheels pop nicely against the blue hue, while a set of Continental ExtremeContact Sport rubber and a coil-over suspension kit from H&R Springs surely improve dynamics. Inside, Volkswagen added a pair of Recaro Ergomed ES front seats and a Black Forest Industries golf ball shifter head to the GLIs six-speed stick, and wed like to see the brand offer this package of interior upgrades on the production GLI. The brand mentions no powertrain mods to the GLI's 228-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Still, its the color of this concept thats the star of the show. But weve got a little secret for you: the Blue Lagoon Jetta GLI is actually painted black. Thats right, this GLIs blue exterior bits come courtesy of a wrap, which extends to the cars door jams and inner body pieces to further fool Volkswagen fans. Even more shocking?

The team responsible for this concept even sourced a Blue Lagoon fuel-filler door from a 2004 Jetta GLI to ensure the vinyl wrap was a near-perfect match for the original color. It looks like a dead ringer to the more than 15-year-old paint option if you ask us. Then again, we might not be the best lot to judge the success of this concepts color match given we barely remember it was a thing in the first place. The post It's a Wrap!
