And you can stop with that Chinchilla grey shit too - at least for a few more weeks and I've decided if it's the colour for my car! :D Title: Re: late model 1200 colours? Post by: speedwell on June 23, 2008, 15:50:28 pm her's the code for the chinchilla grey : L70F Chinchilla

Title: Re: late model 1200 colours? Post by: beetletom on June 23, 2008, 19:25:03 pm the original colour of my car is elm green (really dark green)
and its been resprayed in a modern metallic green colour... *puke* which i don't like either... chinchilla grey or savannah beige are my only choices! :D Title: Re: late model 1200 colours?

Elm green is beautiful! ;) (http://halfabrain.co.uk/clubcars/ben.jpg) Former president of Half A Brain, Ben Bosworth's car. This proves that the colour needs a dark interior and chrome getting rid of, and wheel choice is important too. This car looked ok on MWS 8-spokes, but looked really right on the 4.5" and 5.5" Sprintstars and later Fuchs in the same sizes too. Last I heard it was going to become a baja... :o :'( Title: Re: late model 1200 colours? Post by: beetletom on June 25, 2008, 20:07:53 pm yep!
