did they change on all the 4x4 cars or was it just the last of the run?

anyone got pictures of the differences?

 

its just the last 300 had the rim of the spoiler painted body colour instead of black , most of the moondust silvers are like this like mine.im on my phone at the min so will post pics later

 

My k plater is colour coded.

 

you can just about see in this pic, no real diference , just colour coded ,generaly on k plates

 

They're the same, mine was painted body colour when I replaced my rusty bootlid, looks better than matt black.

 

my one is colour coded!

 

mine's a 92 Jplate an it's colour coded.

 

mines a 93 K and colour codded

 

Mines 93K and not colour coded.

 

Ringer.

 

Damn it, i've been sussed.

To be fair though it's a 92 built car i think but registered in 93.

 

it should be built in 92, sounds like it should have a painted spoiler as well

 

Yeah fair point, never really thought about that before i wrote it. Ah well, no idea why it hasn't but for some reason thats the case.

 

its abit of love/hate thing with people, could easy see somone painting it black as i get lots of comments about mine, it always supprises me how many people dont know it should be painted

 

a previous owner probly wanted it like that or wen bort brand new it could have been specced like that

 

Or the boot lid rusted and it was resprayed at that point?

Looks better anyway. Keep meaning to get my black rear pillars painted body colour too.

 

Nah,get carbon fibre ones like mine.

 

Show us pics of your carbon ones fitted please kev.

I'm unsure on them for mine, i might be about to start a slippery slope The doris is buying me a carbon front splitter and i'm going to get one of them carbon spoilers when they are available and leave the rear lip thats curently black on mine as carbon and paint the rest.

 

Not fitted yet craig I got the number plate surround and door handles too,what front splitter are you getting,rs 500 one ?

 

last 200 cars where colour coded, it was also an option to have it painted from the dealership, if you requested it

 

Yes mate. Send me a pic when its all fitted

 

Will do pal,getting some interior bits in carbon too.

 

Kev turning in to carbon junkie,and it was the very last 300 that had it painted from the factory

cheeRS stu

 

any idea's what the last chassis number's would be??

 

Fuck,i forgot to phone you back today,sorry m8.

 

it defo looks better black

 

it wouldn't normally be done on the last amount of cars, more like a date related change, build date, not registration!
as Col says, look better in black, gives the car a nicer look from behind with the dark lights

 

bit of a bump here.

i'm painting my car frozen white at the mo with vauxpoo black sapphire detailing. do i keep the colour coded rear lip or do it black?? it was originally colour coded but i think with the black sapphire it would look quite smart..

here's a pic of the bumper with the spot light surround done in black sapphire..

 

Ive painted them black on my cossie too.

 

the pic of the spotlight surround was to give an idea of what the 2 colour's look like.

i really like the idea of painting the spoiler lip black but at the same time i want to keep it original..

 

Imo Dark cars can geat away with colour coding the black bits. On a white car i think it looks terrible, you need the black to make a contrast.

 

that's what am thinking. it'll be to much white. but then again it was white originally and as said above only the last 2-300 were colour coded. i think am gonna do it black an see what i think.

 

I got carbon fibre surrounds on mine.

 

Kev who did you get them from then?

 

mine is a 1990 H plate and has the black strip.

 

Carbontec matt,now sadly gone.

 

Cheers anyway
will have too have a word and see if i can get some made up by someone else

 

I'm sure he could,i was asking him about strut top mounts too.

off topic,but im curious as to the srory behind the screen??

 

Nosey fucker.
