Unusual colour? Rhodes Blue?

[Nathan1305]

I’ve got Rhodes Blue (KMP) too; I think it’s a nice colour. I would say it’s quite a rare colour - 18 months ago the front end of mine was damaged so I had to look for Rhodes Blue panels and I can say in my experience it is very difficult! In fact my car still has mismatched panel colours now as even when I’ve found the correct colour replacements they are in poor condition (I managed to get a bonnet, bumper and grill but had to travel quite a long way and I decided not to fit the bumper as it’s not in great condition). As far as I can tell, the colour was only on phase 2 models on an S or T plate and Meridian models….I am yet to find a phase 3 Rhodes Blue. China Blue is noticeably different when I had a China grill and Rhodes bonnet (and Nile bumper :p )

So yeah, what I’m saying is if you want a replacement, don’t be tempted to get China and don’t expect to find one rapidly unless you’re lucky!

I did a college course in spraying so if I have to I could just get a bumper I like and respray it with a colour match. That may be my best option

I would say that's your best bet. Yeah I want a cut out bumper for mine to put a nice rolled tip exhaust on or something. Instead on the standard downward facing back box

Yeah that's what I want, I hate the downward pipe. Just need to find out what a good back box is
