Title: 1990 Grill
Post by: DazH on June 01, 2023, 06:49:19 PM
Can any of you experts out there confirm for me what the official colour of red is on the quad grill please for my Paintshop? Ive seen a few conflicting thoughts.
Many thanks

As far as I know it is Mars Red on the 7 slat and Tornado Red on the 5 slat, but there maybe some crossover as I'm sure my 89 small bumper was Mars but was 5 slat, I just assume all big bumper cars were Tornado

I thought the grille surround was the same colour bright red regardless of whether it is an early or a late MK2.
I've had my 91 Tornado Red Big bumper from being circa 5 years young and the grille was a brighter red than the body. However it was looking rather weathered so the other year I sprayed it Tornado Red and I think it looks better.
I guess it depends upon whether you want it original or not?
