I will look that polish up Steve. On every SVX the mirror housings fade. This is because they were painted in a different factory, and that factory did not use UV resistant top coat.

Reds are particularly susceptible to UV fade. Any red RX7 I have ever seen has different coloured bumpers front and rear from the bodywork, because of fade. No disrespect to your red car Steve, which looks superb as always, but that susceptibility is the reason I have not owned a red car since 1974.

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing fellas.
