which one is correct

[reedreed]

Is it correct or CSL to have this section under rear bumper painted black or it should be body colour here?
Should it be structure paint in both cases?

I thought only the first 169 had black under rear bumper. It should have body schutz or structure as you call it as well.

That’s only CSL insiders info, just kidding! Applies to Csls only and there’s far more to it then just having it blackened or not!
It’s not a simple yes or no…..

When in doubt, just look at Pete’s batmobile. Either that or the factory brochure.

I have no idea which is correct, but the body color way is terrible. It leaves the wheel well trim just hanging there.

Seems like we can consider his car like a reference

Chamomix is just about the best classic color for the Batmobile

Yes and No: Lower valance in body color when equipped with the city pack option, black when not. Note: A large number of those nowadays equipped with wings and things started their lives as city pack cars.... That also includes the 3,2 liter cars.

Sorry I was reading this as batmobile specific based on the pic.

I was surprised to find a picture my polaris CSL in the first post.
Here’s another one – with the correct black painted under rear section…
