Has any one else got factory colour coded mirrors and door handles on there runout 16v?

I don't think either is a thing.

Definitely is factory done. My Oak green has the handle inserts done and the wing mirrors including the mounting triangles done.
i have had the car 20 years and the person I brought it of said there were a few of the run out models colour coded to make them more saleable.
But have never seen any of the other ones.

Maybe done at a dealers but there was a few done

The rear badges are different also from the normal 16v ones and never seen another 16v badge like it

Here's my late 1991 runout model 16V GTI. No colour coding on this one! Regarding the badges, I took this car to France and the "16V" badges got nicked! Apparently they were very desirable in France due to their version being badged "16S" - for "Soupape", French for "Valve". They looked naff, so understandable I guess. Replaced on return home easily enough, but I should have bought a barrowload and went back over!
