Re: Sierra XR8

If you read the Car Mag article it does say that its blue.

Colour on the vin tag only shows body colour. We tried to match the vinyl colour as close as we could. The original colour of the vinyl was under the beadings on the one we are currently busy restoring

Re: Sierra XR8

Re: Importing from the USA

Try postboxcourier. They give you a local address there and just forward to your door. You can get a quote on the site first as well.

Re: New Project - Sierra XR8

Update: This was sometime back. Stripped out and ready for prep work. The car has already been given the correct shade of Diamond White. Will update once the Stripes are on and the car is fully assembled. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/13/43c8ec4b2a78e5522c9c3cb374c32cbe.jpg http://images.tapa...

Re: New Project - Sierra XR8

Thanks, it was neat, it just wasn't neat enough. Neatening up a sloppy paint job will take it to the next level. Here are some interior shot, excuse the quality http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/ac43/moto367/ATT_1420707130945_IMG_20141025_140337.jpg http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/ac43/moto367/A...

New Project - Sierra XR8

Ok, so my brother and I actually had this for a few months now but only recently started working on it. All numbers matching (Engine, VIN Plate, Slam panel) so its a proper XR8.
