Two Tone Gobi Paint Scheme

Emjay · 11-10-09, 04:16 PM

As many of you are aware the early coupes usually came in a two tone paintjob. Take a look at Coxy's quadder and you'll see what I mean. The lower front spoiler and door bottoms are different to the rest of the body.

Now I have it on authority from the previous owner of my coupe that mine was no different. It was originally a two tone paintjob. Problem is we don't know what colour was the lower colour as Gobi was not officially available in the UK at the time. Steve does claim to have some photo's but they can't be found at the moment

So can anyone shed any light on the orginal two tone colour scheme.

There is a reason for asking. I am hoping to finally tackle the Zender kit over the winter break and I was thinking I may pay homage to the original colour scheme by having the kit sprayed in the 2nd "lower" colour.

What do you think?

i thought it was always gold ?

Each to their own and all that, but I am not a fan of the Zender kit. I think it looks better as is. The kit would certainly turn what is already a very distinctive Coupe into a extraordinary one.

apparently it was a two tone job, a few years ago it was treated to a respray and the whole car was done in the main Gobi colour

I personally think yours would look good with the bodykit.

I know what your saying Ken. As she is she looks good. But that kit is sat in the garage tempting me. I run the risk of taking the edge off the looks, but then again if I don't do it I'll always sit there thinking "what if ?"when I sell her in years to come. Of all the kits the Zender is my faveorite as it's probably a bit more sutble

Right it looks to be a darker version of Gobi

If you don't like it, you can always take it off!
