    sh*t, it must be rare, I've never seen or even heard of that colour existing!'

    The first shot looks really nice, looks black with a tingle of green.

    Ive already done that. Got all the vin chassis numbers and engine numbers and everything. Just pointed a little bit of code at their search page. Didnt do anything that could not be done 1 page at a time.

      Love the timber green (also known as Kielder green). Still hadnt seen one until now and ive done a bit of looking. Its by far the rarest colour (released to the public). Here is the link to those stats. They have been reverse engineered out of CAPS:

        I had that exact same colour on my lancer MR....was a beautiful colour but shows dust/dirt/scratches quite easily, unfortunately.

        Holy sh*t, only 14 ever made.. I wonder what the reason behind this would be?

        Maybe it wasn't very popular when it first came out, not many people ordered it in that colour so they stopped making it. Exact same thing happened to the Brickyard colour for the 350z, it's rare and by far the best looking colour for it but not many people ordered it cos at the time there was a misprint in the catalogue and it looked a bit purple rather than brown.
