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 ?

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

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.
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.

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.
