RD09 Tartan Red :eek:

How do they get the stripes to stay straight or does it come in a square tin?

Hi All,

I'm currently in the process of getting a 2002 Rover 75 Tourer Club SE to swap doors, panels and some other bits over but the more I check the photos the more it doesn't quite look Firefrost. Were 75s from 2002 done in Firefrost? I can't seem to find a definitive date when the colours were used.

As a fellow firefrost owner I have always thought that firefrost was a facelift colour so 2002 like the other earlier cars are most likely nightfire..
Firefrost paint code is CEV.

Cheers Ian,

I've messaged the seller to confirm that it is Firefrost Red CEV but he hasn't got back to me yet.

Is there a huge visible difference between Nightfire Red and Firefrost Red or did they just change the paint name for the facelifts?

EDIT: I didn't see your link at the bottom, I will check it out and compare now.

[Organiser]

May well be Copperleaf Red (CDX) if it is a 2002 reg car?

Tom.

[KRISTLEE]

Strange one this...the seller just got back to me as he has just checked and the paint code on the car is COX which is Cranberry Red 2 but the car is 2002 so the colour is Copperleaf Red CDX.

No way can it be Cranberry Red as that's an early colour right?

Hi Lee
I suspect he may have misread the code and it is as you say CDX I dont think cranberry was ever used on the 75/ZT range as it was an 1980s colour.
Cheers Ian

This is the car I'm after getting...

[Reebs]

I've just looked that car up in the build records and can confirm without a shadow of a doubt that it is CDX Copperleaf Red. That is a much darker and less metallic colour than Firefrost, so won't match.

Hope that helps?

Cheers Reebs,

I did a bit of comparing too and confirmed.

It doesn't really help much though as I already placed a bid a few days ago and have been in contact with the owner lol :duh:

I must be going colour blind as I honestly thought when I first saw the advert that it was Firefrost and it wasn't until I was looking at the photos today I thought it looked a slightly different colour :duh:

I guess if I win there are a few other parts I need and if I do swap some panels over my car will be Fireleaf Red lol.

I quite fancy swapping the seats, door cards, glove box and centre console over too... I think a light interior will look a great contrast with my dark exterior.

Shame too much work will be involved in having the sunroof too but hey ho.

It's only a Club SE spec too so not much to look forward to either in the way of extras that I could have.

What is/is there a difference between
LOQ, Tempest Grey
and
LEF, X-Power/Tempest Grey

If it's down to Cowley vs Longbridge plant variation is the code a specific colour/shade difference?

The only Grey colours used by MG Rover for the 75 and ZT are

and for the pre facelift

http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/imagehosting/958482e036adbe82.jpg

The other paint code of LOQ does not apply to our cars, and was probably used by some other model of Rover or MG. As to what it looks like....:shrug:

[Organiser]

I think the Tempest Grey (LOQ) was the lower sill and door colour on the early Rover 214's and not used on 75's or ZT's?

I have a one litre tin of that from Longbridge that has never been opened.

Tom.
