Does this car (attached pic) have the correct bottom black trim? Is the black trim black paint or undercoating? Also does the black trim wrap around below front and rear bumpers?

Original Vignales do not have black trim around below. Just look at original pictures all over the internet, you won't see one.

Hi Brian, I'm not 100% sure but referring to the original old picture attached it looks like that the lower sides are black and probably, as make sense, undercoated too.

Anyway my one is with the lower side undercoated (good to protect from the front wheels which might "shot" little stones against it) and black painted as the lowest stripe profile on the front.

Thanks for your input. Found another photo with black trim.

Hi,

I removed all the trim from the dash to get ready for a complete paint job. How does the paint color look on the dash? The paint in the middle of the dash has some black paint over spray so it is a bit darker but the top and bottom portions appears to be preserved. Need to verify if this color is acceptable so I can get it scanned for a good color match.

Not sure why but the exposed paint on the dash appears darker (see second attached file)

Thanks,

Brian
