General Paint code help plus fitting fog lights

[jondewar]

Hi few quick questions
are rosso starter 112/A and rosso tiziano 199/A the same shade they look the same i need a new wing in 199/a and can only find 112/a i thought maybe they just changed the names as the 112a is an earlier code
also can i retro fit fog lights to my 2002 sx which does not have them ive already fitted the sporting interior and rev counter which looks rather snazzy and thought i would try and fit the fog lights as there are loads of sportings in the scrappy ,i dont think the wiring is in the engine bay so will it all just plug in somewhere
thanks jonathan

No idea if they're the same -- but, different codes, I doubt it. Try a "real" automotive paint supplier and take the car.

I think you'll need the 5 button control from the Sporting centre console and to re-create the wiring. Check with the scrappy/Seicento Technical Manual/your car to see where the relay is. Look very carefully (and test) and foglights from the scrappy -- often they're in a dreadful state. Get the connectors and a little wiring.

Different reds, they do look very similar but from memory starter red is a little "sharper", tiziano is a little "deeper" and more modern, think it replaced started red in the line up, probably because starter red was horrendously bad for fading, the more modern red seems to hold up a good bit better.

To be honest, i'd buy the cheapest good condition wing i could find regardless of colour and paint it myself. Just did it on my cinq in 112a starter red and surprisingly it came out very well! so well in fact that i'm currently in the process of respraying my faded boot lid too!

After 12 years the paint may have faded slightly on your car, paint from different manufacturers does vary despite supposedly being correct, or maybe someone has resprayed the shell but your car was originally tiziano.

As for the fog lights.... yes it can be done, & has been done but you've been on this forum for three years & your a big boy now so it's about time you used the 'Search this Forum' function & researched for yourself how other people have done it.

Well thats me told i do admit i was being lazy i will check the search option next before asking
I was unsure if the wiring was there for the fog lights on my car. i went to my local scrap yard and had a look at a sporting today it looks like the wiring is joined onto the indicators wiring then runs down to the fog light
I am going to have a look at my car again to definately check if the wiring is there or not if its not i will leave it for another time as i need to sort the wing first (also i will by some nice new fog lights not the rusty ones fitted to seicentos in the scrappy)
Onto the wing ive had the colour matched at a paint factors 199/a and tried to spray it but it has turned out rubbish the wing is also a pattern part and the profile is not quite right its the only thing letting down what is otherwise a great little car
will post some piccys of it when i get chance many thanks jonathan
