Interesting. It mustve been resprayed

The colour is called Canyon Red - was an option on the 1.4 16V models, and not very popular at that.

Definite respray, you can tell it used to be white at one point as the engine bay bulkhead and strut towers are white, there's also overspray on the door shut.

Looks nice though!

True, but I guess if they went to the effort of a respray you'd of thought they would have bothered colour coding the bay!
