Help with D3 Colour

My D3 list its colour on the info plate under the bonnet as Zambezi Silver. I haven't seen any after market exterior products in this colour. Wondered if Zermatt Silver is the same ? Confused

No, Zermatt was the replacement for Zambezi and they are different. 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

D3 colour

Thanks for the reply Martin.

Not really what I wanted to hear. But essential info non the less. It seems I am going to have problems locating the correct coloured exterior mods that I want to make.

Oh well, back to the drawing board

My now ex D2 was Zambezi Silver, it was a late 2004 - more than likely the same

What year is your D3 ? Never get mad - get even !!

06 D3 now gone to family member and still going strong at 265k

previous vehicles:
04 D2 TD5 - (clocked 189k from new)
52 X-Trail 2.2 SVE
various euro boxes !

Good luck in finding any Zambezi bits for your D3. I've been in touch with a number of suppliers on here as well as Ebay but the same response everytime is that we have run out of stock. Sad

I know a few on here have bought zermatt parts and then had to have them re-sprayed to Zambezi. Probably your best option would be to get your current bits sprayed up at a decent paint shop.

Good luck! MY15 D4 SDV6 HSE Corris Grey - Gone

Thanks for all the replies. As usual I have made life difficult for myself. Looks like I am now going to look for a good body shop for resprays.

Thought I would initially start small, door handles, rear tail gate handle. Then move onto wheel arches and bumpers. probably do the D3 to D4 grill conversation also.
