They will both be flame red. But chances are, unless yours (or even the 99 Corsa) have been well looked after, then they won't be flame red anymore. My bets are that yours isn't flame red anymore.

An example of 'modern' Corsa B vs. not so modern, in 'flame red'.

Well, that was shortly after my crash. The colour match isn't great anyway, but more flame red than the rest of my car which is going pink.

The problem is all post 97 Flame red Corsas where paintd in water based paints so the difference is unavoidable.
