I'll post these here so others can add their comments or suggestions (nicely
) if they feel any of the info should be changed:
Tyre Pressures
The standard tyre pressures for the FTO are:
Front: 32 PSI
Rear: 28 PSI

Paint Colours
The FTO came in eleven different colours. This included a range of classic colours as well as a range of highlighted colours that give a different appearance depending upon the light. There is also one colour which was limited to the special edition model.
Red
Passion Red - Code: R71 - Bright Red
Monaco Red - Code: R82 - Burgundy
Imperial Red - Code: R39C - Changes from a dark cherry to a magenta, depending upon the light
Blue
Moonlight Blue - Body Colour Code: T88C - Dark Blue
Icecelle Blue - Code: T73 - Changes from mid-blue to a purpley-blue, depending upon the light
Silver
Steel Silver - Code: A34 - Classic Silver
Symphonic Silver - Code: A26A - Changes from a classic silver colour to a silvery-gold colour, depending upon the light
Black & White
Pyreness Black - Code: X08 - Classic Black
Scotia White - Code: W83 - Classic White
Green
Timber Green - Code: G13 - Changes from mid-green to a greeny-aqua colour, depending upon the light
Yellow
Dandelion Yellow - Code: Y77C - Bright yellow, limited to a "special edition" model
Dash Lights
Most of the globes in the FTO dash are either T5 or T6.5 wedge base globe.
- T5 globe is available off the shelf from most car shops.
- T6.5 globe can be ordered via the car shops as a spare part from Narva.
As the T6.5 globe is a spare part it will not be listed in the Narva catalogue. Instead the car shop will need to ring Narva and get the part number.
Most Autobarns have received a Narva sample kit, which looks a little like a plastic fishing tackle box but with globes instead of hooks. In this kit is the T6.5 globe. So before ordering it as a spare part, ask them first if they have one of the Narva sample kits.
If you have no luck with that, you could replace the T6.5 globes with T5?s, however they will not be as bright. T5 globes will sit loosely in T6.5 holders, so it would be better to replace the T6.5 holders with a T5 holder.
Alternatively, you can replace both the T5 and T6.5 with LEDs, which are available in a range of colours and make your dash look fantastic at night.
