    One must have been resprayed. My red NA had a full body respray at some time in it's past too, and was an ever so slightly different colour to any other Aztec red. :)

    My convertible was the Coca cola metallic (more accurate that "poo" brown :D) too before being resprayed bright yellow sometime before I bought it, I think the yellow really suits the shape personally.

    For stock colours I like most of the "rare's" mentioned in paticular the azure blue and the gold ones....one query though: why do none of the z's pictured have side indicators?:zlove:

    US models don't have side blinkers. Some people actually import JDM fenders to get them :S

    The US got some nice factory colours. Cobalt Green is pretty damn sweet.

    Here's a my favourite colour - Electric Blue (might not be factory though)

    I saved the pics from a F/S thread some dude posted up. This was quite a while ago and now that I'm better @ picking resprays this is probably not factory. Else the wing mirrors' base would be black.

    Was going to say the same thing, very late models don't have the mirror mounts blacked out.

    Does anyone know what the paint code is on the VIN plate. This colour has been touted as a "rare" colour.

    Just from memory, the car pictured is a 2+2 TT. I think Sanouske also has this colour on a 2+0 NA. His avatar is all I have to go off.

    Yeah the yanks have a few weird rules.

    Heres a few:
    No need for orange tail light indicators (a lot of american cars blink red)

    No need for front license plates (makes sense when you consider the next point)

    No speed cameras (fixed or random, obviously they have handhelds and stuff)
