My dad did think it was correct. I know he repainted the car. Under the
hard top cover it is still the original green. I haven't looked under
there in forever. Next time I lower the car I'll check it out (it's on a
lift). And don't get me wrong, I do love it. The car looks great. It's
just that it's a bit more dry English than the other BRGs - and I do think
his/mine is a shade less milky or muddy than I've seen before as stock. I
know that's a very bad sensor! I've attached a picture in very bright sun,
in case we can send pictures in this group.
