I think the moulds and bumpers were a Jewel blue but the rims were body color coded. Even the walky wheel was color coded to compliment the blue seats, these are a cheap way to get into a virtual Brock.

They had a special front lip and hard foam rear lip which are are unavailable these days, most replica people use HDT stuff. Here is the wheel and door trims. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The SV 88 used the Formula pack front lip and rear wing which were both made from some form of rubber. Colour was Dorward over Jewell Midnight. Corsa

How did you know it was a "perfect bargain" if you didn't know the price?
