[bonerp]

I am soon to have the top coat and looking to do a yellow. Now Porsche did condor yellow but I am having trouble identifying whether this is the pastel yellow or the bright yellow.

Anyone know?

thanks

Paul,
l would go more in favour of the pastel, but hey dont shoot me if i'm wrong... below a few statsSome Paint Popularity Statistics........!

Below are some statistics on exterior paint colors as published at various times in the factory magazine, Christophorus. It is interesting to note that Silver declined in popularity during the period, while Ivory increased slightly, and Green increased substantially. Another article in Christophorus indicated that according to tests conducted by Porsche, Red and Yellow were the safest colors.

Paul,.
just out of interest what seats you using, as l never fitted the extension for the IVA. l used the mazda mx 5 seats for the test.

Did any of you have problems with the rear edge of the bonnet catching the bodywork on opening and if so how did you solve it? I am thinking of raising the bonnet slightly by using spacers under the bracket.

Thanks
Paul
