Title: What is the official colour of the red grille stripe?
Post by: markymark on September 15, 2010, 04:07:57 pm: As Greeners cant remember what colour he painted the lip spoiler on my car with, I need to know what colour the grille stripe is?
We are unsure if its Tornado or Mars Red?
Thank you please! :happy2:

It's Tomato Red :evilgrin:

If you're px-ing or selling to a dealer rather than privately, just wrap it in black vinyl if Nath has lost his memory.

Oh and Stealth, I just handed the car to a friend who owned a bodyshop and asked him to paint the lip red, so how would I know for sure what colour he painted it? :P

Post by: john_o on September 16, 2010, 09:26:22 pm: maybe the new hair is a tribute to George Michaels recent encarceration ?

What were they thinking! I reckon he got nicked on purpose!

Post by: richtung on September 17, 2010, 07:49:53 am: a slighty more on topic question guys...

Does anybody know if the red stripe is available separately from the stealers or do you have to buy the whole grille section? Im sure mine at 3 years old is slowly fading pink...

cheers

Rich

Post by: QD MBE on September 17, 2010, 07:54:56 am: Etka doesn't list it as being available, apart from buying the whole grill.

It just lists the Grill as Grill Rally Black/Tornado red.
Title: Re: What is the official colour of the red grille stripe?
Post by: Greeners on September 17, 2010, 10:33:44 pm: It seperates from the grill so either try and polish/wax it up or give it a fresh lick of Tornado! :happy2:
