It is. It is also the same as Dark Bowling Green Metalic. U93 is the code I think.

Polo green metallic was a C4 color. I used to have a polo green 96.

The 98 color was called Fairway green, OEM code 87.

That is correct. I didn't een look at the year. Fairway green was U87. 2 years only (actually 1.5)97 & first half of 98. Dark Bowling Green was out in 2000.

The wheels are C5 Z06 style in 17s. The exhaust is a Corsa. I added both to the car along with a lot of other nice goodies. That car was a primo C4. I just had to have a C5 though.

The green that came on the 97s and 98s is Fairway Green, which is not the same green as Dark Bowling Green. Dark Bowling green is also a lot darker than the polo green offered on the C4s.

Talk about resurrecting a dead thread!

I was doing the "Google That S***" thing, looking for nice pics of a green '92-'96 when I saw yours, that was a pretty ride, my friend.

Also saw the Pennybacker Bridge in the background of your profile pic. Lived in Austin for 17 years.... miss that place a lot.

Beautiful car, beautiful town....
