Does yours have the upper door inserts?

I have bought the stainless kick plates too, already have the rear but waiting the front from Rimmerbros.
How did you achieve that ? Did you remove the plastic plate first or just drill ?

I have a Mk1 and a Mk2 so i just swapped them over.
The Mk1 black plastic had drilled holes in it already so was quite easy to sort.

I was wondering about the early door cards with the mk2 dash, definatly a bit classer.

They do look better.
I'm also sending a bit of mk1 dash trim to dazzer to see if he can get some vinyl of the same colour so I can wrap the mk2 dash the same as the mk1's colour to match it in a bit better.

I think it's similar to XPG so i could spray the dasy pieces. but I'd like it to be a good match amd finish so it all looks like it was there from factory.

There is a paint code somewhere.

Skillen · 07-05-13, 08:05 AM

There is!

And it came from your thread.

Was it the correct colour code when you had bought it?

Nexa (ICI) have formulations for Rhodium interior.

Dark Rhodium 2003 - 2004 Code: MVP

Light Rhodium 2002 - 2004 Code: MVQ

This will only be info where they have matched the colour and used the last 3 letters of the part number (which indicate colour usually) as a code.Not a standard MGR available in all paints colour.

Not sure if we're light or dark
But apparently XPG is lighter than the trim.

I sprayed a gear lever surround xpg, it's a pretty good match to the Technical Gray

It's close if a bit more sparkly but that could have been the mixer.

And it's much nicer than the mk2 finish once lacquered.
