Is my rower light grey or light blue?

Probably sounds like a stupid question but I bought it used and I need to order a flywheel cover...just want to make sure I get the right color.

That's a model D with PM3 so it's light grey. The serial date code tells us it was made on 19th April 2012.

Citroen nailed it but I gotta admit when I saw the photo on a (non colour-corrected) monitor, it did look blue. Glancing back and forth at a photo of the actual Blue/Light Blue version and yours, the blue ones seem to have:
  • dark blue rear legs where yours are grey
  • a rectangular logo sticker on the sides of the rail, where the grey is a smaller, lower stencil that's part of the "swoop"
  • lighter colour foot stretcher housings
  • the technique sticker under the chain carried over from the Model C to the blue Model D but was deleted on the grey and black versions
This has been your Sesame Street "one of these things is not like the other" game.
