I'm fairly sure that car was on ebay a few years ago (2008 from memory). Sold for $18-19k. I was interested in the car and may still have the photos he sent me.

So mine missed out by two car chassis no. Doesn't matter any Capri is special. I'm currently welding and replacing rusted sections. Can anyone let me know where to get replacement front guards metal ones and also floor sections. Interesting to note the extra panels put in on this behind the front wheels to stop mud and water reaching the A pillar, I have never seen them before they are covered in the edges with stapled on rubber. Back to work I go (actually in fun and games) Keith

Sorry I thought flat and matt were two words for the same thing.


pretty sure there is a slight difference in the way they reflect light giving a different look to the texture of the finish, but I'm not sure what original is meant to be and if the bonnet is different to the rear panel.

The lighting is slightly different but the photo of Teal is what I think is the matt finish, maybe Ron's is flat.  Teal looks less glossy with more texture (rougher looking).  Parts manual just says black and for the rear panel says Argent, so at least that question is answered.
 
In terms of gloss/smoothness I thought it goes matt, flat, satin, semi gloss, gloss but I dont know for sure which is why I am asking.
