O2 Magnetic Red (code 86) Question
Went on line to look for a painted front license plate surround. When ordering my specific color I was asked if I wanted Mag Red 1 or 2. This was the only color to have more than 1 choice.
Any idea which one I need for an 02 paint code 86 car?
Thanks for all the help.

My 04 coupe is code 86U and it is Mag Red II. Instead of buying a $30-50 front plate bracket, I bought a standard black bracket (about 12 bucks) and spray painted it with Mag Red II paint I bought from Fichtner. Is a good match IMHO. Did the same thing to the rear bracket. Check out my photos and you can see a couple of not so good photos of front and rear. C5 XTC
