Location: Hinckley, Leicestershire		I'm in need of a new wing for my r100 nightfire 2 paint CAQ, I'm finding it hard to find a replacement wing but have come across a mk3 wing but paint is nightfire 1 COQ.

Does anyone know if there's a massive difference between the two colours? So I can decide I to get the mk3 wing or not. The wing is on eBay so can't compare the two until I buy it.

Location: Greater London \ Essex		A lot, I got caught with this many years ago with a dodgy bodyshop, sprayed my R100 in Nightfire 1 instead of 2 and the result was a panel that looked more brown than red

Send a message to this guy on eBay...

He has loads of other tros apart from the one in the pic and chances are he'll have the panel you need

Location: Tebworth		Are you sure? My gti was a mix if caq and coq after it was respelled (bonnet, wings and bumpers were metro, rest of car was r100. There's a plum colour which they might've got mixed up with.

I never considered mine a replica - it was a reshell of my original se, not a 1.1 with the body kit bolted on!
