G'day All

Just had a fella call who has a Absynth Yellow SS and would like to respray of all things, his car jack.

As he doesn't go on the internet I said I would ask on here for him.

So is it Opaline Blue, Aquarius, Atlantis Blue or even Windsor Blue or even something else.

Thanks .... Barry

It's blue-green, so it's either Opaline or Aquarius, that said, I traded mine to an A9X owner to finish his car, and never got anything back for it.....Hpe he got good money when he sold the car.......

My old LH one, unmolested, was a big greener than that ebay one.
The Ebay one.....Attached File  $T2eC16hHJHYE9nzpgImbBP77m6Qumw~~60_3.jpg   44.17K   4 downloads

When this has been discussed before, I think the conclusion is that the colour changed before the LX came out.....

Cheers mate. Would be good to hear from some one that is 100% certain if that jack is correct or not for LH.

Poking around Rare Spares it seems you cant get a LH Jack Usage Decal? Does that indicate a difference between LH and LX jacks?

This is LX Sedan
