2089 Number: 2088 From: "Brent Abrams" <babrams@l...> Date: Wed Feb 26, 2003 3:59 pm Subject: Re: [ASC McLaren ] Coupes without stripes
Body:
Sandy,
Please bear with me as I have a couple more questions about the EuroCoupes. I know that the EuroCoupes only came with the single orange pin-stripe on the beltline molding and "asc/McLaren" chrome emblem in the grill. Did these cars have the decal on the decklid too? And was the rear spoiler the same color as the full optioned Coupe, or was it painted the body color of the car?
