Can't help with the codes but the front mudguard red is different to the other bodywork red.

Ok cheers. Was the red guard normal red and the rest of the red a mica/light metalic red ?

Both are normal solid colours but the panel work red was a very slightly different shade.

The thin stripes on the panel work are a dark maroon colour, not black like some of the copies I've seen..

I know Steve,
I've seen so many N1 rests with black pinstripes...
It's actually quite obviously maroon in real life but always looks darker in pics..
Ring him.... quick.... ;o)

I had my decal kit of Simon the guy who does the locksets Mudguard was coloured plastic ( chappy red ) The pin stripes are the lines either side of the decals. Yours are probably black as per the usual copies Steve |

Will send him the genuine decal Also emailed the image works to see if they can do laminated decals out of curiosity for an original look with no clear coat Steve |

Ok, i see now, my front guard has been painted so not original, the decal kit i have does have deep maroon color stripping around where the tank is painted on top red, and around the other decals, so chappy red front guard, clean white sorted

it's frustrating how the maroon doesn't come out on the screen..
easy mistake for people to assume it's black..

Photos taken outside in bright sunlight would certainly help  Ignore the mirrors in this pic they were for my 3MA but it does show the different reds and also the rear section of the front mudguard that is black.  |
