the color code is from a ferrari deablo only one grey so easy to locate its the closet color to a camelon paint so it simmers with the light change .
so when its dark the car goes darker then when its bright the car goes super bright that and the shiney trim it will sparkle like a diamond thats for sure

kind regards
robert

Wow, some great work there Robert.

Couple of questions- what is the red disc you've used for the column? Looks like some kind of pvc??

Also what are those seats from? They look pretty great. I'm considering swapping out the seats in my Amazon later. Would they work in a saloon?

hi ya

the red disc is a poly bush using red material , the seats are from a mk2 mondeo but for a two door amazon you would need a setup like on the two tone amazon i have been just doing aswell and them seats are from a volvo c70 with tilting front seats due to also being a two door car work very well indeed

kind regards
robert

There is a VW (Beetle?) poly disc that can be used. Is that what you're using Robert?
