Cordobarot is the same as Cordoba Red.

But the other car you posted looks factory...estoril blue... To me, the cars you posted don't really look like the ones you posted, unless my eyes are goin weird on me lol. (Doesnt look metallic to me...but it's a small picture...) **EDIT**: The member who has Dakar Yellow here is named "Compact Missle". Look at his gallery (only one pic but still...) It's cool...Dakar yellow on a nonsport ti. -Randy EDIT: link to "compact missle: http://www.318ti.org/gallery/showpho...puser=975&sl=c | Thanks for the nice comments. Car has never been repainted. Dakar yellow was officially only available on the M3. It was available on the Compact through 'BMW Individual' though. Infact, there's a sticker on the right shock tower that says BMW Individual - Dakargelb. -Keith | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
