There are two black and silver ones, The Type2, Type4, the Type2 has white wheels. £1,000richhemmings wrote:there are some aftermarket Jap ones on ebay for each Type i think - usual deal, probably not as perfect as the OEM ones.. but I think those will be hard to source - i had a hell of a time, before stuffing the idea and getting a customer fibre glass kit instead!
ebay ones are about £400 i think, or if you can bring yourself to splash out, Honda will make you some OEM ones for about £1000
my fav was the RWB from '91, or the black/silver one from ..(??)

Thanks for your advice mate, we need all the Types around if they are all the Type1 RWB then it would be a bit boringroyster81 wrote:do not strip standard panels to repaint them, thats just mental ,good condition stock panels are getting hard to come by so if you really want to repaint something source 2nd hand panels and sort them.

RWB panels (type1) are nice but everyone wants them so i'm bored to tears of them, the type 3/4/5 styling float my boat with the triange design really suiting the shape, but the darker the scheme the more i like it, so type 2/4/5/7 are top of my list,plus i really like coloured wheels so type 5/7 look the ticket to me

I agree with Rhory, the rarest and nicest scheme the type 1 has become so sort after everybody wants them or has got them, they have become a bit everyday boring. Ive got a type 2 a type 3 and a type 5. I think they are a really good mix of colours. Dark, white and red! Its all down to taste in the end i suppose.
