inner boot and engine compartment colours

[shane]

Just looking for confirmation that the engine compartment should be the same clour as the bodywork(including underside of the bonnet)and that the boot compartment,including the underside of the bootlid should be black.I have a cream 230 sl with red interiour.Thanks

John,looking at your pictures makes me realise what a long way I have got to go.Looks like your car just came off the production line!Its an inspiration to press on!

I thought the boot and boot lid were suppose to a dark grey which looks almost black.

Black,grey?Any enthusiast with a white/cream dream machine?I am also looking for a picture of the drainage holes in the wheel arches.I am advised against rubberising of any sort,as it blocks up these holes,and renders the vehicle a water tanker?Thanks Shane

Shane,

Stay far away from any form of rubberizing on the underside.

The original colour for the trunk/boot is called "tiefdunkelgrau", it is a sort of dark satin gray that looks almost black (that's about the best way I can describe it).
