Daniel185 0 Posted September 15, 2012 Do different colour cars have different colour slam panels or is it based on the year, engine size or phase? Can anyone shed some light on this for me. Looked at a 1994 red 1.9 gti that had a black slam panel. Would this original colour? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueBolt 156 Posted September 15, 2012 I think I'm right in saying no. Pretty sure (though will be corrected of not correct) that they all came in the lovely shade of pale sick?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chipstick 382 1 Cars Posted September 15, 2012 They came in beige and black. Black was on the ph1 and ph2, and beige was in between I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexRS2782 136 1 Cars Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) I've got the lovely shade of beige (sick) colour one on mine It's gained a small amount of surface rust in one area so i'm tempted to treat it & then repaint it black as it should look much better against the Miami Blue bodywork.

I was thinking of doing this the other day, but not sure... I'd like to say I wouldn't want to barstadise the car, but with the black grill, bonnet, gti6 lump, black wheel (in progress)....... I think it's a bit late lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScoobyJawa 23 Posted September 16, 2012 Wasn't that one of the things that would make buyers think the car was in an accident as a lot of repairers in the day incorrectly resprayed them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SurGie 54 Posted September 16, 2012 As far as i know black means its been involved in a front end smash/accident., iirc all were beige originally. I cant see any reason why Peugeot would change something at cost tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted September 16, 2012 Late phase 2's went back to Black Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexRS2782 136 1 Cars Posted September 16, 2012 Based on the last couple of posts i'm now tempted to keep the beige one for originality sake for the year of the car - but the black would probably look better. Guess i could always get a good condition spare, spray that black and keep the original one to go back on if i ever sold it - ah decisions, decisions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyn180 9 Posted September 17, 2012 Late phase 2's went back to Black As Miles says late phase 2 are black, earlier ones are beige. I had a beige one on a B reg phase 1 back in the day, and thought it was a repair job until I spoke to the peugeot garage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
