Default XR6 or T Series in Amaretto?

Does anyone know if the AU series 1 xr6 or T series came out in the paint colour amaretto. I need a new bumper and if I can get a second hand one it will be a lot cheaper. I dont even have a clue how much it would cost to respay one in that colour, thanks Joel

Dang, any idea where I can find a list of the colours for the XR6 and T Series out of interest?

Have you tried doing a search. I remember a thread on here some time ago, that had all the colour codes listed.

Yeah thanks I found that one but it doesn't mention which colour goes on what vehicle, just the colours available across the entire range

I have seen a Series I XR6 in Amaretto but from what i gather it was a very rare colour. Not many at all made.

As for colours XR's came in:

Series I:

Oxford Green
Venom Red
Silhouette
Winter White
Liquid Silver
Galaxy Blue
Regency Red - was a Series I XR6 with the 16" alloys, made a special order for the DP of The Harden Ford Dealership. He also had a BA made in Barossa Red.

Series II:

Narooma Blue
Venom Red
Liquid Silver
Congo Green
Silhouette
Winter White

Series III:

As above
Blueprint
Meteorite
Monsoon Blue

That's off the top of my head so there's probably a few missing.

I remember seeing a Forte with an XR front ... that was for sale ... and was in Amaretto ... I'd say the owner for the front and sprayed it the Forte factory colour.

There was a pic of it on here about a year ago ... had a quick search but nothing really jumped out at me with the pic in mind.

Also Dynamic White and Winter White changed over sometime in Series I ... not sure when either.

From what I have seen so far though only Winter White XRs ... I think taxi-packs got the Dynamic White.
