Is black, black ?

Just a quick one. Did 850's come in more then one shade of black (non metallic) as I need to get a replacement bonnet for my R and wondered if I needed a specific colour code or if all the flat blacks were the same. Also am I right in thinking that the seats from a V70 R will fit straight into an 850 should I find some.

When i had my black R saloon a few years ago it needed a few panels which i managed to source from salvo from a black base model so i think black is black lol

just keep to the same paint code, i know 850r grey is not the same as 850 t5 grey

Glad i read that as im after a couple of grey panels for my R.

And the V70R seats will fit but why would you do that? The original 850 R ones are much nicer and if you take them out it will put buyers off when selling(if you ever do). If they are knackered id find an 850 R thats breaking.
