Yeah just had a look around the net, I easily could be be remembering purple stripes on a Panama green van, not Supermint, if so it's my bum steer, its a close colour.

But, I reckon purple stripes might look pretty cool on Supermint, I wonder, if purple was actualy a factory option for Supermint, and the van was no stripes originally, and stripes are now being added, would it decrease originality and re-sale price for an owner to go with purple? It's still the same question though really, was purple avail on Supermint.

I also remember that a van/ute tail light lens is the same as a HQ Statesman, but from memory is listed as a different part number, even though the same number is moulded in the lens.

And purple stripes were common on green vans, but I don't ever remember them on Supermint.

I think you'll find the different part number is most likely for the paint highlight on the perimeter of the lens.

It was never a recommended combo from factory. But a Dealer would do anything you wanted them to, so they made a sale.

Supermint is only a pre 79 HZ colour. DY6 never came out until 79. So there was no purple/pink set in the early HZ's.

DY4. White, Mid Blue, Dark Blue is known as standard.

I still think that HX DX5 would look great! Plum(pink), Purple, Dark Blue.

While when on the subject would the HZ DY4 or DX5 would these look odd on a Valencia Van instead of DY3
opinions wanted

Oh that would be interesting........ Different... Not my cup of tea. But. if we had the same taste what a boring world it would be.

I think it would look good. I am sure I have seen it done before. I dug through all my photos and couldn't find any..

I have a set at the moment. its not 100% as original. Its a seconds set. reason is the pink (plum) is a little too bright compared to normal. On a light green this kit would look great! ;)
