That was my comment I think your referring to
My chains colour it wasn’t anything to do with cars colour. I meant the actual VIN plate colour. It’s was polished silver and faded so I had a set made it satin black to match the car but all exactly as they were most of the guys I know
On the escort cosworth forum that had remade them none were done to ‘increase the Value’ of the car. It was aesthetics that’s all.
But then different car? You couldn’t buy an NA or an Auto
The only real difference was Lux pac, A/C etc. But that made very little difference to value, the only big value was limited models like a Monte or similar. But that’s reflected by VIN no so if someone changed that then I think they’d get caught out fairly quick as it was quite small community
