Most people seem to agree the colour swatches are close, though different monitors may show colours a bit differently. I got two NOS early front fender trim seals at the weekend - a right and a left, though it's only the way the rear edge is mitred that makes the difference I think, and with care when fitting they will fit either side. One is labelled 087 (Pastel white) but the other seems subtly different - a bit greyer. I didn't think Chinchilla was that pale, which leaves me mystified as to the colour. It was from some Swedish parts, but I don't think they got any other body colour choice. I'll have to look for a Chinchilla Bug sometime, or just paint them if I ever get an early Type 3, or maybe sell them on. Dave.
