G'Day,

I was just wanting to know if anyone out there had any pics of an original LH SL/R 5000 Paint Scheme. I am after the side/rear shots in particular. My girl hasn't got the correct paintwork and I am about to send it in to be rectified so just want to check I have the right idea.

I know that the sills are black, I am just not sure what happens behind the rear wheel arch. Does the black from the sill carry on and meet the blackout on the rear around the tail-lights?

Cheers.

Gheers for that Yella,
I think I have it sussed. The black behind the rear wheel arch goes from the bottom of the bumper to the same level as the sill line.

Kudu,

Yes, the same depth/height as the sill blackout. Now the interesting bit comes when you get to where it turns the corner up the rear (still same width as the sill) and transitions behind the bumper bar to the blackout around the tail lights (different width). If I get the car out I'll try take a pic behind the bumper so you can see what's happening.

Hope these pics describe what's happening round the bumpers. Black is actually done to radii down round the bumper bar bulge.
