I'm guessing the front Bonnet trim is also colour coded the same as the grille and light surrounds on a 2.8i special?

Will painting it a different colour de-value it that much, even if the colour was still used on a 2.8i?
Gotta be White, Black or British Racing Green(im sure they came in that colour) for a 2.8i/Brooklands 280 Capri.
In Eastenders a character called Alfie had a black 2.8i in black with the blue pin stripes. Looked spot on!

Doubt it would go in my mondeo then! Iv struggled a few times over the years to move capri bonnets around!
