Green Tiefgruen Coupe - Anyones?
Looks like you’ve picked up one of my Tiefgruen’s brothers! Curious to see where you’ll take it, I’ve decided to paint the wood into the Tiefgruen exterior colour, came up great
Four Alfa's and a Ducati later, I've turned to the dark side...

Green Tiefgruen Coupe - Anyones?
I had an introductory first wash today. You know the one where you find all the little niggles! I’m chuffed with the condition. Lots of things planned but today was just assessing and appreciating.
Barty, I make no appologies if mine ends up along the lines of yours. You have a beautiful car and one of the reasons I wanted this one. When I’ve had some time to play maybe we’ll get a side by side shot
So here’s the wrap; I picked it up in a salvage auction. Written off by the insurer for offside front damage. On first inspection it’s a travesty. It’s popped the lower ball joint and a dent in the wing. It’s a CatN but it’s better than many ’Clear’ vehicles I’ve seen over the past few years of Zed tinkering. It’s solid and only getting better from here
The priority will be a full service and oil change. Then a complete overhaul on the whole suspension and realignment.
It’s had a rather loud back box delete. So ‘deleting the delete’ is on the to do list if anyone has a back box for a 3.0si coupe laying around.
Cosmetic mods are already bubbling in my head. The MSteering Wheel is already in the garage and I have some new interior parts on the way up the country but let’s not get carried away on day one! For now I’m just enjoying the many colours of this paint. Everything from mesmerising green sparkle through to almost black late in the evening.

Nice one Street.
I suppose that's why the Sepang search went on hold!
It's a great colour and somehow the Caramel interior just works really well. Hope you can live with them as I suspect M-Sport seats in Caramel might be a bit of a challenge.
Still it's a manual so not all bad. I hope you'll keep us updated with your progress.

I have a plan afoot already MrTidy
I love the uniqueness of the Sepang.. and I think this might be even more so!

Love the caramel, really goes well with the green! Speaking of which, fun to hear you’re as mesmerised by the range and depth of this particular shade of green as I am. Try to get it out in the evening sun sometime, golden hour, half overcast conditions. There’s a hint of gold in there
As they say, imitation is one of the best compliments, so I’d love to see how yours ends up
Also really like the idea of getting them side by side sometime. I’d love a UK roadtrip, so perhaps that’s something we can set up in due time. I plan on making the trip next spring to visit my sister as well. Zedfest 2023 is also definitely a must; let’s see how many Tiefgruen coupes we can muster

They are indeed style 200’s, and interestingly my green coupe also came with these fitted. Standard SE spec on green..?Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 7:52 pm Lovely colour, can’t be many with caramel interior

Based on my facelift brochure 200s were standard on the SEs and MV2s on the Sports.
With the lovely but painful 108s optional!

The colour looks great. Think the dash in Piano Black would really set the interior off.
What’s the mileage?

I’ve a lot of polishing and refinishing to do but I’d love a Sepang / Tiefgruen shot one day as well! The challenge is on
Little update today getting underneath. Replacement lower arms on order.

Piano black for the win I think as well! Only other option I’m going to test is a leather dash in the same as the seats. (Although I’m thinking of Dark Sepang Hell Bronze)
105k on the clock.
