Hey guys just wondering if any one has any pics of any mandarin red LX sedans with flare kits or flared sedans with big 5 spoke dragways. Just wondering how mine might look with that combo :<_<:

cheers, Dan

Yeah, that pic was taken in a studio in Silverwater on the 20th April. The lighting and white surround are very flattering to paint and panel.

I know its an old topic but has anyone any photos of a Mandarin red LH-LX with flares 15inch style gts wheels and no SL/R blackouts at the bottom (like a L34). There was one on the link to the topic (google) but now its gone.

G'day

The thing I like about Mandarin Red is that in different lighting it varies from a red to an orange :blink:

By the time I rebuild the car, I'll be over white & will probably take the car back to the original mandarin red but with a modern tint to make it glow.

Hey Coxy, that passion red is what I thought the mandarin would look if done in today's 2 pak. Where did you find that tint from?

I agree with Barry that mandarin is a colour which changes from orange to red in different lighting. That's why I like the colour.

Still would like to see if someone can post a photo of an A9X type hatch in mandarin with blackouts?
