No evidence of silver white, 99.99% these are og paint mango green. Would of only been a very short widow when mango buses came with two tone pressed bars
Holy grail in the mango world is how look at it
Yep bus is going to be staying og paint and ratty so perfect match
No Berger sticker too be found
Cheers

Very cool bumpers, perfect bus to run them too. Are you worried the shiny roof will look out of place on such a nice rat? :lol:

Yes I was wondering what Dale asked too. Is the white part the same as the Sea Gull grey on the roof of your bus or is it more of a bright white?
58 Standard
Wanted:
Caramel Front seat for 58 to 60 model. Not the hump style one. Any caramel interior stuff will be of interest

They are definitely OG seagull grey/mango green and not bright white. I transported these down from Macksville for Brad so I’ve seen them in person.
