I like the yellow body/door and black visor combination. Don't some places in Italy have that combination? I think Spain is all yellow.

Is the yellow plastic lower quality than the black? Here yellow signal break easily, black signal much stronger.

Yellow plastic - when it get older - behaves like eggshells. I got some signals but could only save 5 of the yellow visors with cracking / smashing them. :rob:

It's like the green (RAL 6009) signals... after about 15-20 years (depending on solar radiation) they will crack like eggs, too. The best for long durability is pebblegrey (RAL7032) or black (RAL 9005). Pebblegrey will be yellowed after some years but won't crack as easily as yellow or green plastic.

This is one signal I got which is already cleaned up :grin:

May I get some more of them I could offer them here... but hardly to get some :sigh:
