nop

its a 1980 sa light blue (cant remember the color name or code)

the idea is to make it look like the 1978 green car we all know from brochures, ads etc

me too, but I think the original color is a little ... plain, and too green

this is a mix of yellow and green, with tons of pearls

305 grams of paint carried 209 grams of pearls

the colour "plays" a lot with sunlight

I think its great.

I took the pics with a cellphone and they look "washed"

I will take my camera next time and will show you better pics.

yep I got a couple sets of them also, they were marketed as true fender mirrors for savannas but they aren't I still am trying to get the ones i need for my savannas

I love the mach green I have only seen 2 in the US and both were RHD, even though it is an "official 79 color" I have never even heard of one original in the US.

I saw pics of those a while ago

I wanted to see the mirrors :)

At least there you have 3 oem ones

Could you please measure the distance between the tip of the fender and the base of the mirror?

-xlr8planet- 03-10-2009 01:31 PM

better pics of what the color looks like
