Great see your completed project.

I’m on the starting blocks with a 1982 caramel Pearl Gran Sport and I wondered if there was any reference you had so I could get some?

This is my second go - a place in Portsmouth on v1 gave me basically copper - nice, but not right. I rushed them and it was a pretty battered specimen, to be fair.

My nearest colour match place, after a long period of waiting it out in lockdown were giving me the teeth-sucking treatment this week, the spectrometer doesn’t work on covered surfaces, there wasn’t a chip that matched, etc. Not convinced about the VW orange idea.

V1 Forks rechromed at Dorsetware in Poole for £75 - more teeth sucking, but they did it.
