Guest Mal Guests Posted 11/05/05 03:04 AM Share Posted 11/05/05 03:04 AM (edited) I ask the question coz a neighbour just bought a 2nd hand MkI XR8 ute and his paint has a gold fleck, while my MkII is a blue fleck.. He asked if anything had been done away from factory, and was told no.

If its gold its not standard to my belief.

Guest Mal Guests Posted 11/05/05 03:15 AM Share Posted 11/05/05 03:15 AM His paint code is ST.. the same as mine.. I've looked inside doors/boot/engine for signs of a respray and can't find any.

If all over then a whole re-spray has been done but that would seem weird. Or maybe ford ran out of blue Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17536-silhouette-difference-between-mk1-2/#findComment-251761 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any gold (a la WRX Sti Black) is an impostor.I can look up the paint code if the forum really wants it...cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17536-silhouette-difference-between-mk1-2/#findComment-251767 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vehicle inspection by RACQ showed no signs of damage repairs.
