Hi everyone.

 

I am about to start a tidy up of my 10-76 L31 M40 LX hatch and I have a few questions for the clever folk.

 

It needs a bit of body work so I might as well return it to its proper colour. Other stuff i am replacing might as well be close to factory if possible. This isn’t a back to factory resto though, it will retain the current drivetrain, suspension brakes etc.

 

Questions

 

1. Paint code is 568 - 15953. Mandarin red?

2. What is the correct pattern of black on the paint?

3. Engine bay black or body colour?

4. Flares are pretty tatty. Who makes the best available flares and F&R spoilers. Probably not going to put a scoop on it at the moment.

 

5. Trim is 1890 -18X. Will be replacing carpet and maybe doorcards. Will need a new headlining. What do I ask for? 

 

Thanks!

Yes, 1890 is Mandarin Red.

 

Not sure when LX changed to body colour engine bay.

 

Black will be air dry satin. I'll get you the code.

Hey Rexy
I’d contact Cindy from C & G Upholstery for your interior needs, I bought hood lining & door vinyls from them, fantastic quality products.

This should be the black. It was what was used on the sills and lower panels of HQ Sandman, GTS etc. HJ was the same.
