when my painter mixed the paint to redo my bumper he said there was not any green at all in the mixture!

Yes, the cars produced with steering wheel on the right side has a slightly darker/greyish green color and the cars with the steering wheel on left side has a brighter/greyish green color (Aventura Grün). Can't find the color codes at the moment, but there is a tread at RL with the correct color codes.

Yes, I also heard that when I did a full repaint of my car.

Hi,

I have a 1998 Rain Forest Green (L22E) / Saddle Cab. Love the rare color.

(Excuse the winter shot)

My steering wheel is on the left so I guess I have the "there's no green in my paint, brighter grayish/green" Aventurine Green version.

So...there is two color codes for Aventura/aventurine green:

L39S and L39R

My 993 have L39S (K6K6) and it says Aventura Grün pearl in my manual.

I can be wrong regarding the importance of the position of the steering wheel, I can't find any information supporting the different colors and the difference between markets... Anyone?

Default My first love! Now in the UK

My first 993 was a AG C4S. I regret selling as the interior was perfect! Very classy color too! Combination of light green, gray and touch of metallic in it.

I love Aventura/Aventurine green metallic/pearl 993:s regardles of the color codes.

But I'm a little curious, what does it say on the sticker under the bonnet on your car? It would be interesting if we didn't have the same code, then my idea of the position of the steering wheel is wrong, I need to know...
