    Coloured. HX are black. This is how they are supposed to be (according to GMH docs). Other evidence can be confusing in this area though.

    Further evidence ^^^ for HZ. HX is where some of the confusion exists.

    Spoiler is coloured. As for behind it I suppose you could try the old proverb: If a man has an opinion and there is no woman around, is he still wrong? (if you can't see it does it matter!).

    On this, does anyone have an original GTS or Sandman nosecone that is damaged or rusted beyond repair? I wouldn't mind making a drawing for the cutouts for the book.

    My nosecone's only got 4 bolts holding it on at the moment. Would a tracing of the holes relative to another nice sharp line on the nosecone be any good to you?

    Both my Sandman and GTS are body coloured behind where the spoiler goes. GTS I was told had never been painted (although it needs it now) and I'm starting to suspect the Sandman hasn't either.

    It may. I was hoping to get a nosecone off a car that is buggered, and cut out the lower bits, then trace onto mylar. Just a thought though. One day all this stuff will be gone and not documented if not done soon.
