Mk2 RS paint work


G'day all,

Can anyone tell me whether Australian mk2 RS2000's had the door sills painted black, like mine are in the picture? Or should they be painted the body colour?



The Ghia I wrecked had black sills as well with the line continuing along the front and rear quarter panels. Would the RS have had black lower rear quarter panels also?

Regards and thanks,
Wagin

    Hard to see but at least your RS decals arent black against the blue like they were from the factory!

    That's great, thanks guys!

    I could've just waited for Peter M to get up to this stage in his restoration I suppose... That would've also answered the question.
