Howdo chap, didn't realise you were registered on here! :thumb:

Yep, thats a motion effect on the wheels. Looks kinda funky though. That looks suspiciously like a 539/71 colour.... :D:D:D

That was aimed at Tappage btw lol

539/71 = Mexico Red. Look for the colour code on the VIN plate.

aarrrgghhh wish i knew that earlier, couldnt figure out what the paint code was so went halfords earlier and guessed it, bought the wrong colour!!! argh, just means my engine bay is going to be a bit brighter than the rest of the car lol :(

Have a look in my sig, there's a link called Colour Chart which will tell you most of the colours used on Vauxhalls of the 90's, plus where to find the colour code :thumb:

If you got the paint from halfrauds, take it back and switch it for the right shade ;)

[edit].... thats assuming you haven't already used the paint. I'm not sure they'd swap empty cans for full ones lol
