Probably trigger mauve - that's a grey/purple colour.

There are a couple of disk threads suggesting replacements, but I don't know how to point at them.

Congrats on the purchase, hope it is making you smile :D

When you say london/birmingham, when and where are you in birmingham?

Welcome aboard Sam. Get some pics up of your vr-4 in the picture forum and we can all judge if it is the meanest front out there ;)

Ah....... I see.

College Road goes from the Chester Road near tescos at the baggots bush over towards the greyhound stadium near one stop. Passes a mcdonalds, a Seat garage, and a large ford garage on the way.

They really aren't liked by performance jap car owners.
