I have one of the early '88 Motorsport convertibles in Macau Blue. prior to my ownership it has had some paint in its past to keep it looking nice.
Currently the stone chipped part of the sills is body colour - is this correct? Nearly all pre-facelift convertibles i've seen are black in this area. I wondered if it might be because its the special paint finish?

I think there are at least another couple of the early Motorsports on the zone so would be nice to know what any others are like and make sure that any paintwork I get done is as it came from the factory. :D
