Great stance
The colour looks a fair shade lighter than the original Rio Verde though.

Hi Guys
A bit of an update below are some photo's from the paint shop.
Enjoy
P.S. Doing the DIY flaired archers was easy but it took alot of time, patience and checking both sides against each other. I used a heat gun and a flairing tool even thou I managed to crack the paint on all four arches but I wasn't concerned as the cally was going in for paint anyway.

Hi Guys,
I got my cally back and below are some pictures of it. I have fitted a new roof aerial, aerial base, front window rubber surround, new number plate lights with a few more external bits to add.

Thanks guys for the positive comments.
I'll post some more pictures soon. I fitted Euro style tail lights, smoked side indicators today, and I have a set of angel eye head lights to go for the exterior.

Re: Rio Verde Green V6
Thanks Eddey & Bluejuz,
I wanted to keep the colours close to orginal so no I didn't want to colour code anything other than the door handles. The bumpers are a honda silver which looks similiar in colour to the grey strip on the rear lights. The bottom spoiler is gloss black, and the roof rails are unpainted but cleaned up.
Below is a picture with the new euro style tail lights and smoked side indicators I still have to fit the new angel eye headlights.
