Colour of my 2b

[apgodden]

Anyone know what colour my 2b is?

I am taking Richys advice and going to buy  superspec rear arches and want to know what colour to order.

Kit spares option

Oxford Blue

Gulf Blue

Gulf blue is a really light blue so think that's Oxford

+1 for Oxford blue. No guarantee it'll be an exact match due to fading on the originals but it should be close enough not to matter.

Yeah my old Exmo was Oxford Blue, looks closest to that, so +1 here also

So they are not the superspec ones that Richy is talking about?

Are your rear arches a fibreglass edge around the wheel attached to a wide strip of metal that joins it to the body? If so, these are the normal 2 piece 2B arches which are normally seen with the metal in a natural stainless steel finish.

Superspec arches are one piece fibreglass like in the link.

Thanks Richy.

just to clarify the link I put on is the Superspec arches that you recommended.

Yes they look like superspec arches - they're the only one piece arches I've seen for a 2B.

Thanks Richy,

I have ordered them not cheap but want to get my car up to standard over the winter.

With my arches being bonded on and filled where the arch meets the body I presume that I will have to grind them off and repaint the body?

Hopefully you realised before order but the link is for ONE off side arch, not a pair of arches.

Yes I did order both sides at a whopping  £367.92.......

Glad I fitted trailer mudguards to Florin.
